NOT SEEN THIS DONE BEFORE!...Delta Tub Spout Diverter Repair

What happens here

Carefully align the tub spout with the pipe extending from the wall and screw it on by hand. Ensure it's tightened until it's straight and flush against the tile. Once secured, turn on the water to test the spout. First, check for leaks around the base of the spout. Then, pull the diverter knob to see if the water redirects to the showerhead. In this case, the diverter does not work, indicating the problem lies within the diverter mechanism itself, not the connection.

Goal: Secure the tub spout and confirm the diverter issue
