Buy or borrow a pin extractor tool. Insert the extractor around the female pin, to the bottom of the connector. move the tool to a slight angle and make a circular motion. This will close the splayed pins. NOTE: Just close it up, don't kill it.
If this doesn't work, there might be a defective crimp on the connection, with a broken wire. In which case, replace the "Y", or P/S pins, as applicable. I don't think there are any really good "y"s available, but you could make your own, albiet, you'll still be using tin pins, but better wire and crimping.
