Based on the previous descriptions in the thread, the pitch attitude will be commanded by the FBW system and achieved by managing the output from one of the two downward thrust sources. It would be a reasonable guess that the attitude will be aimed at putting all 3 wheels on the deck at the same time. Perhaps an F-35 driver can enlighten us if this is wide of the mark.
