Have been wondering about the problem had with its 14th core, which remains unsealed. Thanks to @PaulHammond51 finding a description of the process, we now know that since the initial failure to seal the tube, the team has been trying to clean the inner surface near the tube's opening, before eventually trying to seal it again.

This process is documented in the following animation, prepared by /JPL-Caltech, which I just stabilized for better viewing.
