Eeeeh not really other than wait for the roots to grow and anchor so it can support itself. You could try packing soil around the bottom leaves to prop it up BUT if that soil stays wet you can end up with rotting leaves so you’ll need to bottom water.

I feel I have knocked off so much soil the aloe does not want to stand up now in the new pot. Any recommendations?
