Sealegs don't lift high enough with Frame/Canopy setup

I have a Bennington 20ft pontoon with 25" pontoons. It has standard 6ft (I think they are around 6ft) Sealegs installed.

On the shore line I have a frame/canopy that I park under. It looks like a lift but does not have any lifting capability.

My problem is I can't get the rear of my pontoon fully out of the water with my rear Sea-Legs fully extended.

I have tried pushing the frame/canopy closer to shore but water depth is to shallow between surface and the frame cross members under the water.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some sort of aluminum platform pad available to raise lake bottom by 2ft?

a big block of concrete dropped in the water where the aft legs hit?

Yeah that would definitely work but I want to be able to remove it too.
I have a sand beach and who knows where I might move the canopy so I need something I can move easily. Not only that I am sure the DNR would not like 2tons of concrete dumped in the lake.

get longer legs? Or fabricate something to make them longer and pinned to be easily removable when conditions allow.

might be able to make it longer, not sure how they fold in on themselves.
