using tft and IR led at same time

Hey so I have a problem...

Basically i'm trying to make a smart remote using this tft:
UNO Elegoo TFT

and an IR led that a got from on old remote control, to control to IR led and my TV I'm using the IR remote library and at the I'm using the adafruit tft LCD and GFX libraries to control the Touchscreen.

Both are working fine separately but my problem is that the Ir remote library uses PWM pin 3 for the IR led BUT pin 3 is also one of the needed data pins on the TFT.

I've looked into trying to change the TFT data pins but that doesn't seem possible, the easiest option seems to be altering the IR library to use a different PWM timer pin but I am unsure how to do this.

only other options I guess are some hardware/software way a switching pins so only either the tft or IR led are connected to pin 3 at one time.

Please try and help me out here guys as I'm stuck on how to progress with this project
Cheers.

Your display looks like a regular Blue Mcufriend Shield.
Yes, you could hack your Shield to change the wiring. And change the Adafruit_TFTLCD or MCUFRIEND_kbv library to work with your special wiring.

It would seem easier to use digital #10 or #11 instead of #3 for the PWM. And you could even solder your IR diode to the header footprint on the top of your display.
