Most times, just use the side stand.

I gather the issue is exacerbated if the bike has been lowered & some RE forums talk of having the main stand cut down.

The traditional way to overcome the issue is to back the bike onto a plank or caravan leveling ramp to reduce the height of the lift...if that makes sense.
 
side stand is too short and bike leans over a lot also - puck will be added to that soon

they come with a factory bend in them after people complained when launched the bike was too upright
 
Fit one is those Touratech/Wunderlich/AliExpress universal fold out lifting handles. Makes it so much easier
 
The trick with a plank of would works well. However no use when you are out. Get the side stand set up sorted so you can use that with confidence.
I bent the luggage frames on my Himmy using them to lift the bike to put on the centre stand!
Soon found a different way to lift the bike.
 
If it's the same frame geometry as the Himalayan, then putting your full weight on your right foot (on the stand foot) does it for me. I believe RE have now modified the sidestand for the Himmy to make to a tad longer? If this is the case with the Guerilla too, then that might be worth exploring.

Useful forum here.
