YJ MGC 4X4 Center Issue

[rubik2005]

So today I got my my MGC 4x4, but I noticed that one of the 4 red center pieces was a little "burried," or not flushed with the rest of the face.
It affects the turning everything I make turns that move that piece, for I need to apply more pressure than usual to make the layer turn.

Should I reassamble it?

If it's slowing you down, you should probably take a look. Also it's "Buried", with one r

Is it just the red?
Remove the centers and see if it is visually broken. If not, out it back together and see if t fixes it

I have taken it apart, and after close examination, it seems that one of the center pieces doesn't have the same angle (you'll see in the images), and this may explain why it doesn't rest on top of the center as it should. I tried swapping it with the adjacent center piece, and I came to the conclusion that the piece may have a defect since it didn't enter the other spot adequately.

I emailed The Cubicle about this issue, so I'm waiting for their reply. I'll post any updates, so thank you to anyone who assited me.

A replacement part is on the way! Props to Jonah for helping me through this process

TC am i right

Alright, the piece arrived, I popped it in, and everything works as it should . I'll probably play around with this cube later and loosen it a bit since ootb it's dry and stiff. Any recommendations as to how I should set it up?

FAST. That way you get full potential with the cube IMO

I agree. The MGC 4x4 is very fast and I think you should harness that potential.
