There's treachery afoot
Pinch the growth at the top. Some good detailed posts in here, just learning about it myself but have cropped six tips of my latest experiment and now have twelve.

Plants grow from the top, that's where all the new leaves are. Pinch that instead of the bottom. By pinching off the bottom growth you're doing the exact opposite of what you're wanting to achieve. Pinching from the top forces the plant to branch to the sides, which helps it get more light and do its planty-magic.

Ya could just simply bend the top of the plant down. Use a bread twister to hold it. That will make the lower branches grow. That way ya dont have to worry about what to cut and it does less harm to the plant.
