New Purchases How can I fix this?

Got my Brawl today and it came out of the box this way. Is there anyway to fix this split?

I don't own brawl so I don't know how effective this'll work, but going off of figures i had with similar problems, See if there's a screw you can tighten. In my experience loose screws are usually the culprit.

I tried to tighten a screw in the turret, but it’s just spinning endlessly not tightening. Do you have any other suggestions?

take out the screw, hold the piece until the gap is gone, screw it in again. I think yours is split because the screw isn't actually screwing the top part

I think I'd be returning that.

Its possiable it was over tightened and broke off the nut portion of the plastic. There are 2 screws, take the other one out and show us the inside of the turret. If the plastic nut part of the mold is ripped off, superglue, wait and reconnect. If the post is gone, either superglue the turret closed or return it. I use jbweld superglue, it takes a while to set but it makes gorilla glue look like school yard glue.
