Easiest way is to build another frame as a platform out of something flat - we use a spare barewood moulding of the relevant thickness, or even flat fillets, depending on how much you need to raise it by. It just needs to be flat on the top.
Size the "platform" slightly smaller than the canvas you will be mounting into the tray so it doesn't show. Cut and join it like a normal frame and then you can glue it into position. Then you have a tray with a raised rim ready to attach your canvas to. Screw as you would do normally to secure the canvas, by screwing up from the underside of the tray, through the "platform" addition and into the canvas bars.
