Issue Specify folder path for composer for laravel application

[Jackal]

I deployed a laravel application, i made some changes so the public folder remains in the root and node modules and all dependencies related are inside a folder called laravel. Made some configurations and everything works fine. The problem is the composer scanner does let me choose a path where i have the composer file. I tried copy the file to the root but it will give me some errors because it cannot find the core packages cause they are inside the laravel directory.
