Problem with oil filler cap

So as I was doing oil change this past weekend, I noticed my oil filler cap being very loose. I made a video to show what I am talking about:
. In the video, I tried to tighten it as much as I can but it's just not "on".

I remember having the same issue with the gas filler cap a few months ago and was able to fix it. However, I totally forgot how I did it.

I imagine I would have to twist/pull/push the inner part of oil filler cap. Could someone please remind or enlighten me what to do here? It's very loose and the car is not running great because I suspect it's letting air into the engine system.

For the replacement price of an OEM cap (oil or gas), go buy a new oem replacement and be done with it.
