It's choking. It's not going to emerge much more. The bracts are already starting to open.

Nothing. That's just the way it's going to be. You'll probably still get fruit. They'll just be a little squashed. Trying to do something to improve the situation will almost certainly make it worse.

I cut off the top 2 petioles and sliced them down the side a bit

Good idea. This time of year the plant is slowing down from the cooler temperatures. Have low expectations and hope they are exceeded.
