    Help Bottom Rail Twisted, wall is falling

    It's wierd cause the top one used hardware but the bottom one according to the manual and everything I can find online says it just snaps in by pushing down. There's no way to get inside the upright to depress the clips. I think I'll be calling the place I bought it in the morning :)
