I found an answer. I think I'll try to bend it toward the back like in this thread.

I think I found the answer!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I searched around on other forums and found a guy who has successfully converted one of these Kenmore mini fridges w/ the freezer inside. Yes, it does involve carefully bending the freezer down and toward the back of the fridge. If done carefully the tubing will not break/bend and the fridge will operate normally.
Here's is his email to me after i asjed him about his conversion:
"Actually, it was more of a bend *down* then up, based on the way the
tubing was routed over to the freezer tray -- but either way... I
didn't bother attaching it. The tubing is rigid enough that it'll
hold the tray in place wherever you leave it (just make sure you bend
it slowly). I kinda just positioned mine along the back/bottom, and
bent open the sides a little bit more (not totally necessary though,
so my keg/c02 would fit a little better. The only issue i've run into
so far is that if you don't pay attention to where your beverage line
sits in there, it could end up a little too close to that freezer
plate - thus cloging you're lines up with icy beer chunks
(unintentional eisenbeer) - easy to fix by just moving the lines around.
If you haven't already drilled the top of the fridge, I'd recommend
mixing up some rubbing alchohol & cornstarch and spraying bottleing
it onto the outside top of the fridge to see where all the lines are. I did this and came to find that where i originally was going to drill a hole would have
ruined the fridge.
Good luck with it."
