Can someone help a first timer?

I built this storage tote shelving in my garage. My garage has a ceiling that it stopping the fully built piece from going up. The two pieces of the frame went up fine when they weren’t connected but now it’s blocked from the ceiling.

It is very heavy so was too hard to try and put it together with both parts standing up by myself.

I need it to go where those other shelving u it’s are. Does someone know how to lift this thing up without completely taking it apart? I was thinking maybe just unscrewing some parts of it so that maybe I could sort of hinge one part of the frame while pushing it up and it would fit…?

Don’t want to do all that and then find out it doesn’t work. Hoping someone here has already made this and ran into the same problem. Thank you.
