Please try to cut the track or rod in a vertical 90° angle. You can purchase the rod joiner here, and track joiner here.

HOW CLOSE TO THE CEILING SHOULD I MOUNT MY HARDWARE?
To achieve a grand look, mount the track as close to the ceiling as possible or directly onto the ceiling. If you have crown molding, install the hardware with wall brackets just below.
We recommend installing the rod at least 15cm above the window.
CEILING MOUNTING: HOW FAR FROM THE WALL SHOULD I INSTALL MY TRACK?
We recommend installing the track at least 5-10 cm from the wall. To create a two layer curtain look, you should have at least 10 cm between the tracks. This way the curtains will have enough space for the pleats when open.
When deciding the instalment distance from the wall, please consider the placement of your radiators and/or windowsill.
