Welcome to the community , your best bet Gently pull and tie the limbs down. Also you can look at the rigging on your lights you might be able to raise them a couple inchs.  
Happy growing ✌

Welcome to the community, A bigger tent could be the solution and growth potential.

get a trellis net and start bending the branches under the net and weave them, this will buy you some time/space

I had a Gelato auto that got crazy tall. All I did was tie a small string about 12 to 14 inches from the top and gently bent her down and tied it off to another pot that was next to her. As soon as the top cola turned back up towards the light, I started to bend her down a little every couple of days.

What stage of the grow? Still vegging or is it in flower, how far along in either case.

A picture would be EXTREMELY helpful.

If you have a fan\filter in the tent, they can be moved outside the tent to make more room.

Had one do that and had to keep tying it down. You can see the strings I used to pull them down away from the light.

Slowly is important, and gently, because those branches have hardened off, and will snap if you’re not nice to them.

I did that one my last grow with 2 in the tent… I think if I install a net bfore they get a foot or more then you can weave the branches through the net and get them to grow horizontally
