That one plant is about 6’4 feet tall
Yes. Research "super cropping". You appear to be pretty early in flower, so the plants will recover just fine.

take some twine and lightly wrap it around the tallest colas/branches........lightly pull it away from center and tie it down.

This.
Supercrop them now IMO. Itll slow them down a bit but itll give you room to finish. I had to do it to several of my plants on my first and 2nd crops.

I thought it’s way to late to super crop

I'd def NOT supercrop. Just tie down the tallest branches. Much less shock to the plant, DUH.
The less "shock" to the plant, the healthier it is.

dont go full out on it.
Go light, as high as you can to get the clearance you need. Weaken the branch so you can tie it over how you need, but dont full out roll it around and break it so it flops over on its own like you might do in veg.
Other option would be to try to tie them. If you can move the base of the plant a couple feet away you could wrap something around the whole plant and try to pull it down on its side some.

Can I turn the plant so the cola is on the side of the light, or does that coala have to be directly under light to grow

if you tie it over or move it, itll grow back to the light.

I always tie my longer colas. I actually bend them. I take a 12" piece of solid 22 gage insulated wire and make a hook on one end and wrap it around that offending cola a few inches below it on the stem. Then gently pull it down and wrap the other end of the wire on the same cola stem. I use very stiff tc wire. I end up with a bent stem at chop and the bud sites below get very excited. Fills in nicely. Let's me keep my cobs closer.

I’ve been growing for 6 years on and off and never once did I run into this situation where I had to tie down plants because they were to tall, I hate touching them ever since I touched the coala once and the plant got limp d**k and fell over
I don’t think it’s the strain cause I got 3 other plants that are normal size

I'm with Couchbuzz..
Dont supercrop at this point...ride it out..otherwise you risk opening a can of worms
Tilt the plant, and get a string to pull the growing tip down (to parallel with the light) to a more reasonable level..
Let it finish...and learn about the strain from the experience..plant is more sativa than you thought
Best of luck

Do I have to stake the plants for support, I don’t want them falling over when the buds grow
I supercrop frequently. I have three on my table now I supercropped more than once in both early and late in flower. It just causes the plant to grow laterally.
