I must have tightened the screw too tight and now the center post is moving. I would like to know if anyone can tell me whether the center post can be tightened. It's not a clone.
Can I tighten the two hole center post on the regular Twisted Messes

The center post is held in place / tightened by keeping the 510 pin secure.
If the 510 is tight you may have a damaged insulator.
If it is tight & the insulator is good but still moves you probably cross threaded or stripped the threads.

You can try tightening the 510, hold the center post with pliers or something similar careful not to booger up the center post, tighten the screw in the 510 pin.
Tight but not too tight, don't strip the threads by cranking down on it.
If it were mine I'd check the insulator first just to make sure it is in good condition.

Definitely double check the insulator! A damaged insulator could be quite dangerous. If damaged enough it can cause a short in the atty. This isnt as dangerous on a regulated mod but can be an accident waiting to happen on a mech.
Take the pin out(yes its the part at the base of the connector that allows for a flathead screwdriver). There should be a little piece of plastic(hopefully PEEK, which is a type of plastic that is resistant to high temperatures), check to make sure that the plastic is in good shape, no cracks or chips of any kind.
unscrew the 510 and take remove the positive post. Check the insulator that sits around the positive post for any cracks/splits. If you notice damage on the insulator, replace as soon as possible and do not use that atomizer until the insulator is replaced. Make sure the insulator at the 510 screw is also not damaged as Darth just pointed out.
I may just bring my RDA to a shop and have them show me the work that needs to be done on it so I'll know for the future. I don't feel comfortable doing this myself without seeing someone do it first.
I just watched this video of someone replacing the insulator for a single hole center post. Real hard to do.
Yeah I was gonna post that video but it really shouldnt be that hard. I dont own a TM but my Lush, Goon, Kennedy, and Avocado are all MUCH easier to remove the center post and check the insulators on.
In my issue so bad if the center post only moves when I tighten very tight, making use a pliers to make it straight again? It crushing to think that there's a chance I may need to buy a new RDA.
To be honest, I wouldnt recommend using an atty if you arent absolutely certain that your insulators are in place and in good condition. In fact I advise not using any piece of equipment in vaping if you arent totally aware of the state its in.
That said, if you are using it on a regulated device you're more likely to get an error message if something is wrong with the atty, under no circumstances should you use it on a mech unless you're sure of the working condition of all important parts and insulators are crucial.
