Okay so I'm going to answer my own question: WCA Article 5b5: "If after the solve a non functional part of the puzzle is still defect (like a center cap of a cube) or not fully rotated (like a 5x5x5 center piece twisted in its spot), but the puzzle is otherwise unambiguously solved, the puzzle is considered solved, under discretion of the main judge."
So I guess it's not a big deal, and I don't have to glue the caps.
