Is this normal for a rod which is used two times?

Here's the deal, it's me with my questions again. Well the issue is, I bought a Shimano Compre 6'6" Medium 2 piece rod last week. After using it two times I noticed something was weird with it and it didn't look right. So I'm going to ask you guys what you think about it. The part where it holds the reel is now not in it's original place and causing it to slant in an angle. The top part of the cork is pressed so hard that it shrunk because the bottom part popped off. Please I need some opinions guys, should I go back to BassPro shops and ask for a exchange for something that is constructed better or am I just picky? I used it only two times! I'm afraid it might cause me problems later. Cheers, any help would be greatly appreciated.

i own two compres (spinning and casting) and they are well built and i love them.
that to me does not look normal... definitely go back and exchange.
 
I took it back and got a new one, I hope it doesn't happen again. Now I'm looking for a bait caster.
