Hello Highlander! The 'elbows' on the ends of the lattice wall should be outside the door frame. This is typically done when you are adjusting the height of the lattice wall at the beginning of the assembly process, but you should be able to shift it over. You may need to unclamp the side cover from the door frame and remove a few screws from the bottom of the side cover on either side of the door to expose where the nearest rafter supports are screwed to the lattice wall. Once the screws holding the lattice wall to the rafter supports have been removed you should be able to get the lattice wall to shift enough to get it off of the door frame. This will allow the metal plates to sit flat against the door frame upright (and allow the side cover to get securely clamped into place).

Adding 1/2" PVC pipe into the hem of the water catchment makes the rim rigid and it will stand upright more easily. It appears that you may be missing some of the 4" diameter spacers, which help the water catchment function as well. However, if you were to put corrugated perforated pipe into the water catchment, it will hold its shape much more easily. Here is an example of the type of pipe that could be purchased locally: .
