Rotofab causing the car to run lean question

Good morning gents! I've been googling around and I figure that the best way to get tips is to ask you guys directly. Long story short I've had my rotofab on for a little over 4k miles with no issues. Did the install my self. From one day to the next I went to work, came back and on my way home I notice the car idling a bit strange. Sure enough I got a CEL. pulled the codes and I believe I got p0174 and p0171 something along the lines of the car running too lean. I figure crap, something loose. I go through a TON of speed bumps so I'm sure that loosened her up. Sure enough I get home and pop the hood, the intake is falling apart! My fault obviously I'm just surprised it took this long. Doesn't look like anything is missing so I grab some tools and tighten her up good. I clear the codes and gp for a drive. so far so good.next day I take her to work and on the way home that same day, car idling rough again and CEL comes back, same codes. I double check the intake and everything seems solid! I take her to the dealer with (hopes were too high, I'm too optimistic) them coming back with it's my intakes fault and they won't cover anything (no biggie, I figured that would happen ut I was praying for something else) I'm on vacation now and I plan on picking the car up and figuring it out. Any tips on how to handle this? I don't have the oem intake so I can't put her back on and test.

Edit: this is happening 4k miles after install. When I say it came apart, I mean the tube where it meets with the rubber boot to meet the other part of the tube with the head on it came apart, just needed to reattach and tighten the metal o ring. it possible I just need to do some kind of sensor reset?
