My brand new maru 4x4x4 core is out of place. It's solved but right after I solved it I noticed that the core is out of place ( I can tell from the postion of the screws). I can only turn it when blue or green is on top and either red or orange is facing me and I can only turn it in any way with an r or l. This would inclue R L R' L' ect. How should I go about solving this problem?

Edit:
Actually forget it I figured out the problem. The reason I'm replying is because I don't know how to close or delete the thread if I can.

This happens to me once every solve or two. At Harvard last weekend, it took me 30+ seconds to get the cube back into alignment. I average sub 1:30 normally, but thanks to this issue and a DNF I couldn't complete my average. I've had mine since the cube came out and still don't know how to fix this problem permanently.

For some reason, mine doesn't do this. I bought mine off of a friend and he broke it in (Hard) since it came out. I think that may be the solution... A couple years of use.
