If you unscrew the bottom fill valve there is a threaded insert that you can take a flathead screwdriver and loosen slightly. If you take a very small flathead and unscrew the one holding the flame adjustment part slightly also, the lighter lid will sit more flush. I did that and avoided having to send mine back in, paying the shipping and waiting for the new one to come
haha.
P.S. I might finally get a chance to take some pics for a tutorial on the lighter this weekend
haha
