Remember that Bohr's theory on atomic structure was 1) only a model and 2) cannot truly violate anything, as it was only a model.

However, the fundamental flaw in Bohr's model is the assumption that an electron of a certain energy level, or "shell", can only occupy that energy level (unless it jumps to another level, requiring energy). This essentially claims to know the relative position of that electron, while Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that this is impossible. Rather, the electron cloud model is more commonly used today, which gives regions of probability in which it is most likely to find an electron of a given energy level.
