I have never had a problem with the door hitting the canvas. In addition, my door has a wheel on it to keep from cutting the canvas with the door corner. I am talking about the awning support rods going to the TM wall. I can have it drooped down for wind/rain and still no problem.
I don't think I have tried putting the support poles to the ground, but I don't picture what would interfere. You say the canvas is parallel with the ground -- I assume in a plane parallel with the ground. That would be higher than if you used the supports into the wall. You need some slope to get rain to run off. If you can open the upper door, you must be hitting something with the lower door. That would be the pole??? I am sure my pole is well outside the arc of the door, both to the rear and out to the side.
