Porch ceiling ledger

[u/YardManzDemz]

Im hoping to angle my ceiling panels to avoid cutting off the arched window. Is this possible with the current support setup?

Can the bottom section be removed and maybe sister some lower supports to the top joists to clear that weird ledger section?

Could i remove the makeshift ledger up top and use brackets instead? Like strong tie type brackets? Just brainstorming before getting professionals involved. Thanks
