I am guessing your awning doent have a travel lock on one end.
With no lock, you could pull the awning out a couple of feet, then have someone stand on a step stool and hold the tube to keep it from spinning, while pushing the awning toward the trailer. He would have to hold it while you rivet. If I went this route, I would put a few small screw drivers, long nails, ect in some of the holes to keep the rail from ripping off the trailer when I pulled it out.
The other option is to unwind the awning.
