Kenya trees very commonly do this. Give it a few days and it will stand. Dont try and fool with it. When I purchase my first Kenya tree they also did this (there was two) I tried to lift them and support them thinking the same thing that they were too heavy on one side. I ended up killing one doing this. The other one turned out just fine and eventually stood on its own once it acclimated to my tank. I have also heard they will sometimes bend over like this as well when they are going to drop a frag. They are very hardy corals, it will be just fine.
