Trouble folding wings - 2 Day old Adult Male Dynastes Hercules

Hello all,

After some years of raising this little guy he finally pupated about two days ago. Unfortunately it looks like he is having a hard time folding his wings, I am not sure what to do about it. I saw online somewhere that if I do nothing he may die, but I do not want to perform surgery and cut his wings if there is another alternative. I was wondering if anyone with experience could help me figure out what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It appears as though one wing is partially folding, and the other not at all.

Thanks!
