Hey there Tfantoni :).
I've done a quick paintover to illustrate what I meant - I drew in a green rectangle of where the curtains are not blocking the light to further describe my thinking - hope this helps - if not please ignore :).
Also don't be afraid to search around for reference images of stuff if you're ever stuck on a problem. I found a helpful article here that reminds us that shafts of light are only visible if there is smoke or something similar in the room. Otherwise all we will see is where the light hits an object.

Another great resource if you can get it is the book How To Render by Scott Robertson, he has a great section on how to construct shadows using perspective and geometry - it is fantastic in my opinion.
Keep it going!
