Just tried a drop and if that does it I'll really super glue it in place.

I hear ya! What I do is rotate it around so that when I turn the cap counter clockwise, the skull ends up right side up. Usually that does it but every now and again the vibration rotates it around and like you I have a mild case of OCD and it will drive me nuts.
Kinda like whenever I put fuel into any of my vehicles and I have done this since i first started as a teen, is I have to stop the price on increments of .25 cents. so at a hard dollar amount, or xx.25, xx.50., xx.75. If not, it drives me crazy and I have to keep going until I can stop it like that.

Would a squirt of silicone up in there work? Less permanent

I used some gorilla glue, I put some on each side of the cap, let it set up for a minute, then tightened it and then backed it off where it was nice and straight.
Now it stays nice and straight..my mind is at ease for now.
