Just leave it. Moving it will just stress it out. If it is unhappy with its location it will move by itself.
And for why it split could have been a bunch of reasons.
 
So what do I do with it... I only have a 38 gallon tank - can I have two?
 
I have had BTAs split it can be a sign of stress or health. I currently have 3 in a 45 gallon but had 5 at one point with no issues. Just wait a few weeks for the two to heal and trade one off if you only want 1. I dont feed till the mouths are completely healed and have always had luck with them surviving. One will usually move around till it finds a spot its happy with.

**** I just feed them
 
Im sure they will be fine. I have just never feed them because the split through the center of the mouth so i didnt think they could even eat.
