[Help Thread] GAN Skewb Corner Popping off, won't quite go back in

[White KB]

Title says most of it: My GAN Skewb Corner is popping off and I can't quite get it to go back in so that it's flush with the 3 sides it helps form. It's slightly outward which is distracting at best and detrimental at worst. Any tips for how to fix this? So far the hardware seems like that of the original GAN X (with the same problem too) but... bigger hardware, I guess. I think I should super glue it, but I don't have quick access to super glue since I'm in college now. I learned my lesson for being careful with super glue when I tried doing it on the GAN X, and some of the corners were too far in after that. I used nail polish remover on it and it ended up mushy...

Fortunately, nothing done with the skewb yet, though. I just need tips on how I should go about this if a drop of super glue is not the way.

Me and the current Taiwan skewb NR are encountering the exact same issue.

Yes, I, too, popped off after my first official sub-2 in 5x5. 'Twas glorious.
Thankfully I'm not hardware at all; I'm simply a very financially stable ghost hooked up to a really convincing monitor, meaning I technically ain't broke. The more you know...

This happened to me about a year ago, it’s caused by a small piece on the inside of the corner breaking (maybe you dropped it recently) unfortunately the only convenient way to fix it is to by a replacement piece.

That or buy a better skewb if you can't find the replacement piece

Check for bent plastic and if there is a spot where it is bent then band it back to its origianal position, and try to put it on then. If you want to use the dollar store sollution, duct tape the peice back on and use a marker to color the duct tape that is over the peice. I hope some of these solutions work.
