I noticed its starting to pull away from the tub and I assume due to the dryness and the myc doing its thing. I do not see any bruising.
Looks like your gonna have a fuck ton of side pins. You let the surface get too dry man. 
What should i do?

How was water content of your coir? Did you properly judge field capacity? How did you prepare it?
Looks dry and properly hydrated coir should not dry out that fast in an unmodified tub

Followed all bod's tek for both tub and coir, this is in a basement room and rh in there gets down to around 12.... I should have added another liter of water to the coir. Field capacity was a stream if I gave it a really hard squeeze and stopped immediately when i let it go.

Hmm should be ok then. What do you do with the lid on the tub? Snapped shut?

You can mist to rehydrate top...might take a decent amount but if it keeps absorbing rather quick it it means needs it. Just dont mist directly...mist the air above and let it gently fall on it.
Idk just surprising it dried up that quick. Could be cuz myc isnt doing well and didnt seal things up by colonizing top fast enough.
I'm no pro though..maybe someone else has better ideas

Dude I'll be honest with you it looks dry as the fucking desert on your surface. You should be checking your subs daily to make sure the surface conditions are ideal. You let this one get to far away from you and you should have misted early on when it first dried up. Sadly there isn't much you can do to remedy this as of now. It's gonna pin heavy on the sides and bottom. Just give your surface more tender loving next round.

I never let my surface get drier than this.

If I check a tub and it looks like this I go "oh fuck I need to mist this bitch ASAP"

Twice a day in an unmodified tub should be plenty if prepared right and keep on top of it. Might want to snap lid shut till colonized and knotting in future then flip it. Will help retain moisture in your low rh environment. Minimal FAE needed while it colonizes
A lot of ppl keep lid snapped shut till first pins

If it were mine...I would give it a few good mistings this evening to hydrate the surface and snap lid shut. Then mist regularly to try and keep it hydrated and hope it recovers and starts progressing again. Just dont spray directly to prevent matting and dont mist so heavy it pools up. Beads is what u want

Don't be bummed, it's a learning experience. I have a 9-5 job so I only check my tubs morning and evening also. Trust me it can be done, you might just have to fiddle with a few tubs before you learn the perfect balance. You will still get fruits from this one just not a canopy.
GOAB gave you good advice.

I don't even grow at my residence anymore. I check on shit like 2-4 times a week. If you have to for some reason mist more than once a day run a humidifier. I don't mist once a day and the RH is abysmally low in the winter in Wisconsin homes.

You could go over field capacity in your sub prep and or delay flipping the lid immediately to retain moisture.

During colonization the lid should get condensation that drips back down on the substrate. Otherwise you might be too dry on substrate
