What the observation tells you
A deep tray may hold juices safely but cover an outlet or press against the rear wall. Removing a fixed shelf or forcing the door is not a solution. The food's thawing time and preparation instructions also need planning.
A useful next step
Check the ordinary removable-shelf options and safe storage arrangement in advance. Use another appropriate appliance or method if it cannot fit safely within the refrigerator.
