Autoflower getting too close to LED grow light

What should I do with this? My white widow auto is 41 day’s old today 1/29/22 and right now the top of the plant is 14 inches away from the wakyme 1200watt LED and I can’t raise it any more. What should I do here? Will it be alright? I was thinking of cutting off the main stem/cola, like you would do when you harvest the top half of the plant first and let the rest ripen up, but I’m afraid to. Don’t know if that’s a good idea. And I noticed that the tips of the leaf’s around the top of the plant are getting little bit of yellow tips. If I remember correctly that’s the start of light burn right?? Any ideas??

You could also remove the wires that connect to the yoyo and connect straight to the yoyo with a small zip tie
