Yuxin Little Magic 2x2 is stuck and wont turn one way

[Tinannic]

Hi, I received my Little Magic 2x2 cube today, and out of the box, I noticed something was different from my expectations. The two top red pieces wouldn't move apart from each other, so I couldn't turn my cube in that direction. They seem firm in their spot, and I didn't want to disassemble the cube before posting here. Am I just stupid and this is how 2x2 works, or do I need to send it back? Thanks.

Welcome to the forums! Could you send a picture of your cube?

Absolutely! The two white pieces in the front there are the ones that are causing me confusion. Is that normal for them to not turn?

It is safe to disassemble a cube by unscrewing one center. Show pictures of the inside mechanism and if anything looks obviously wrong or broken.
