Yes, definitely! Both of these phrases are perfectly fine to use and won't change the meaning of the sentence. This also can apply to other sentences as well. Ex: A couple of days later/after a couple of days, we decided to name our new kitten Roy. Ex: We went to the beach a couple of days later/after a couple of days.
