Assuming C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\ is your Steam install folder, change path as required if yours is different:
1. Close Steam.
2. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\Common, cut all SteamVR folders
3. Go to your <other game directory>\steamapps\Common, paste folders there.
4. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\, cut appmanifest_228980.acf and appmanifest_250820.acf
5. Go to <other game directory>\steamapps\, paste appManifest_*.vcf files here.
6. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps, open libraryfolders.vdf with notepad
7. Find section with "path" pointing to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\ (you'll see double backslashes '\\' instead of '\')
8. Find section with "path" pointing to <other game directory> (same regarding backslashes)
9. From "apps" of section from point (7), move 2 lines mentioning values "228980" and "250820" to section from point (8).
10. Save file, close notepad.
11. Start Steam, it might give you a popup about updating some paths regarding SteamVR
12. Enjoy VR.
Side note, you might need a Steam restart or 2 before the VR Icon re-appears in top right of the window

on a side note: never install games and launchers on your c: drive!

besides the constant change and growth of steam and such, it will fill up your system drive, which is never a good idea. a side-effect of having them on another drive/partition is that you never have to reinstall any of the games again, maybe just the launchers. i have several steam folders over different disks and use that install for years basically. after win reinstall, i just install steam in my main steam folder and all is still there. if you keep your profile/user folder (for windows) on c: you might have to backup your saves (for the non-cloud save games).

The only way is to change where your program files folder is.

not really, it is installed where my games are, well on one of my several disks.

no need for that at all imho. just install games on the fastest drive, steam vr won't have any benefits from it, definitely not once it is running. use the space for something more important.
besides that, deinstall, reinstall on the desired drive!?

This is the answer. There is no option under properties to move the folder.
