I'd like to make a FRET sensor to detect changes in conformation of an intracellular protein. I'd like to use fluorescent proteins on the flanks, but I am not sure about the distance between the fluorescent proteins and my protein.

In principle you should try several linkers and also different circular permutations of the fluorescent proteins.
You can check out this publication:
