Saving my plants, an ongoing progress

Above was last year, with a tent set up I'd bought in 2019. This arrangement 'looked good on paper' but in practice somehow those few plants it had room enough to contain nearly froze a couple of times, and I spent far too much energy monitoring the temps and trying to mitigate the situation
This year, I decided to just move them all into my studio, but the problem there is the humidity coming off the plants.
I've fought for almost three years to control the humidity in the studio, because of my musical instruments and electronics out there.

I knew this tent wouldn't hold everything, but last month we had a cold snap and I had to do something, so I set this up with a grow light, and the humidity soared.

Almost exactly a month ago, I ordered this, paid for it even, and it was scheduled to be delivered on Oct 20^th, which then became the 21^st and then... I was so mad I told them to cancel the order and refund my money (but apparently they didn't hear me)
I then went in search of someone who could BUILD me something (I had in mind plastic walls hanging from the ceiling) but even though I HAD a guy agree, he left me 'hanging' (pun intended)
Then Lowe's called and said my tent would be delivered on Nov 3^{d, that robocall came in on Wed night as I was preparing to leave to go to my dying sister's bedside.}

I was LIVID!!!

Before I left, I went online (their support was not available, but I got someone in chat) and even tho that guy couldn't hear me, I SCREAMED AS I TYPED, that I had canceled that order, and I simply could not deal with it right now. So they knew that I would be in contact.
Having little or no alternative, and having this already paid for, I decided to go for it.
By myself yesterday, as much as to work off the dangerous amount of anger and frustration (other ugly things have been happening, things I though settled and done reared their ugly heads) I began to work

At first I thought someone had made a horrible mistake, as the pipes that were supposed to slip together appeared to me to be exactly the same diameter, but I managed to get things together and placed over top of the old one.
I now think that I didn't get some of those corners etc tight enough/inserted fully, because the new tent is extremely tight, and I had to wait for help to even be able to zip up the door
This is where I was going to leave it last night, because I was tired and hungry, but some help arrived

↑You can see the door is unzipped↑

This was taken this morning. I am almost afraid to unzip for fear I may not get it closed again, but there are a lot of plants still remaining outside of it.

I'm hoping that the plastic tent will loosen up some in time, so that I can then put more of my plants inside of it.
I love my plants and do not ever want to just let something die if I can help it
