The thing about space is that you don’t always have to have everything be
vertical. Since the Jormungand is really tall, mount it sideways in the
carrier. You could just make the launch bay Zero-G and build it sideways.

Hmmmm. Sideways, eh? I might just try that. The carrier is still on the
proverbial drawing board, which means that anything is possible. I’ll be
sure to let you know how I get on. Sideways. I like it!

The only problem is that Lego is built here on Earth, which has gravity (in case
you hadn’t noticed), and you have to make sure your models are pretty strong and
have a strong mount to have them mounted sideways on anything. This is
especially true with a model this tall. Two technic pins will not work. You
need a pretty complex mounting mechanism. I don’t mean to put you off, but
mechanisms like these are quite hard to make, especially with the non-uniform
shape of this craft. It’s not impossible, but you’ll have to think for a while
to come up with a design.
