I think you must therefore either touch a diagonal piece or the 1st beam if I understand everything right?

There's nothing in the pre-match rules about not appearing to climb. the rules are the you must be in starting configuration, fully supported by the floor, and touching the pyramid. The second level is still the pyramid, ergo it's legal. It probably isn't smart since, as you point out, you're touching the floor and the second level, and thus have invalidated your climb points. But it's certainly legal.
