The center stand is now back in it's retracted position, and the bike is laying, still upright, but on the lower rear frame rails/swingarm?
Is the engine still being supported by the lower loops of the frame? Is it laying on top of a toppled scissor jack?
Do you have another jack to help you lift everything? Do you have tie-down straps, or similar?
A picture would really help.

I took off the swing arm too and the scissor Jack was underneath but I got it out from under it. I don't have tie straps

Or a engine hoist or chainfall with straps you could do it with little to no help.
Be careful

I've used this technique before and it worked well. You may have to remove the front end to lighten the load but do what you must.
