Potty training in flooded backyard

Hi all! My mini poodle/terrier mix is a year old. We recently adopted him from a shelter. He has been a great dog and so funny and cute. He’s reliably potty trained now inside our house. The issue is, his potty spot in the backyard is under about 1 inch of rainwater (as is most of our backyard) due to poor drainage. I have an astroturf mat with weeds he has peed on stretched out and ready for him on the garage floor. We have a covered backyard patio. He is interested in the potty mat currently in the garage, just won’t go potty. Do I need to move the mat to under the back porch? Would having it outside instead encourage potty success? Or does it not make a difference and I need to just be patient and wait him out?

Any advice or help here is super appreciated!! Thanks for reading!!
