Cause the firebox temp to drop?That’ll cool stack temps.
No, if there’s a leak at your offset it’ll be pulling cooler air into the chimney. That’ll cool down the stack temps. It would be happening above/downstream of the firebox.Cause the firebox temp to drop?

Would it be safe to try and put some self tapping screws on the separated part and seal it with furnace cement?Definitely do not use the stove with a known fault in the exhaust system. It's fire in your house, be cautious and fix it properly before using it.
Thank you, certainly willThe offset box is defective and must be replaced, asap. In the short term, pack some furnace cement into the gap and keep an eye on it for any additional opening up.
