I think the only way to fix it would be to remove it. Is the cap damaged at all?

i have a FHZ like that also. Before both caps were a little loose and make the _click click click click_ noise. I actually kind of liked it. Then I traded one cap out and now it makes an annoyingscraping sound. I suggest taking out the stuck cap and barely sanding the edges a tap just so that both caps are the same - loose. You might enjoy the clicking sound, it’s kind of similar to the pod racing engines from star wars episode one. If not, try to take off the loose cap and place a small amount of silicone around the edge and wipe it and let it dry before putting the cap back on, it will tighten the cap so it doesn’t slip.

I dont like the sound when one cap is losse and the other tight either. The sound i thought he might like was the two loose caps sound. _click click click click click click click click click_ maybe i should have been more clear. good call.
