Does anyone have any suggestion on how to fill the gap. *It seems to

Try Automotive "Bondo" and let it cure for a day or two before letting
it get wet.

Good idea, would I need to get clean off the PVC cement that is left
on the fittings from the previous attempt or can I put the" bondo"
right over it?

Brad

If the fittings still go together OK, just slather on the Bondo or
epoxy and you should be fine. Clean off poorly adhered or ,oose stuff,
of course.
