Never leave screws loose so the drywall isn't held tight to the stud unless you like fixing screw pops later.

You put a cut 1/2 way or so into the low side of the stud in the middle of the stud height wise then put a shim into the cut from each side and hammer them in until the stud is even with the others on each side of it. Or, pull it as you jam the shims in to hold it.

Second picture down on this page. Cut it and wedge a shim or two into it so it comes out lined up with the others.

drive a screw or two into it angled across the cut to hold it together after.
