hello!

New to this forum and hope I'm posting this in the right place. But I need help wrapping my head around something that has baffled me for the last few days.

I have 2 cubes, a stickerless one and a Zanchi. A few days ago I took apart my Zanchi in order to lube the core. I applied everything, and was content, until I went to put it back together. I did not re-sticker or do anything crazy, all I did was re-lube. But reassembling is driving me nuts. I have my solved stickerless cube next to me, and I followed the same color scheme as that one. I've now re-checked everything 1000 times and can't figure out why one piece won't fit in it's right orientation. Below are 2 pictures.

Everything is right on the cube except for that one corner. I don't understand where I went wrong. What am I missing? Am I not seeing something obvious? I'm pretty sure it's something straightforward and obvious, but I just can't figure this out. This has been driving me crazy.

Sorry for my noob question, but I'm still new to cubing and I'm slowly learning.
thanks
 
The stickers are swapped. Thankfully on Dayan cubes you can take the pieces apart and change the colour scheme. Just take the corner piece apart and swap the red and green parts.
 
The corner isn't assembled properly. You'll have to take the corner out, pull apart the three pieces that it's made up of, and switch the red and green pieces.

EDIT: ninja'd
 
Twist the corner back in place. No need for disassemble.

EDIT: The corner isn't twisted but put together wrong. BUT the corner can easily twist :P

oh my goodness...I feel like such a doofus now. :fp I swear I spent hours and days trying to figure this out and couldn't. You guys made me remember that a few pieces did fall off my table and came apart, but I thought nothing of it and simply put them back together. I seriously cannot believe I forgot about that. Arghh....my apologies again,and thanks for the quick help.
 
Am I the only one to think that the only way to fix this is to swap the stickers?

Unless you dissasamble the corner. I mean, the three peaces that together make the corner.

Yes, I bet that's what happened. The corner fell to the floor and Artic assempled the three pieces incorrectly.

What I meant was "twist the corner" wasn't the solution.
