You said you live in an apartment right?
Thinks to look at
1. Tightening the bulkhead to both the glass and wood is asking for failure, wood expands when it gets wet and even from humidity in the air, if it expands it could potentially break the bulkhead causing a major leak or worst case crack the glass (I've done it before from over tightening bulkheads)
2. The time and money needed to fix the issue properly (drill a larger hole for a larger bulkhead and drill the stand out more) would be WAY cheaper than repairing flood damage, especially in an apartment.
3. This tank hasn't been set up for long, I'm guessing it isn't even cycled yet, way easier to do it now than have to do an emergency repair job while its fully stocked
