The lower headset cup came off when I was overhauling the headset. I can press it back in by hand, but it comes out with fairly little force. Any ideas on a fix here?

Retaining compound, but realistically its a bandaid at best.
One of the headset cup or bore is out of spec (could be both), and since it’s a press fit situation, it really needs to be secure. The retaining compound can help, but I don’t believe it’ll last long term. Maybe JB Weld, but that’s way past best practices
