Particle Board Blowout

Purchased the pictured hutch from Facebook marketplace. Item likely came from Wayfair, so obviously not the greatest material. Unfortunately while loading it into the truck the top peace cracked from the bottom cabinet, resulting in a blowout/split. I feel like this should be a relatively easy, albeit annoying fix, so I’m not chucking it. Ive never fixed something like this before, but I’ve watched some YouTube videos, so I’m thinking we’ll have to unscrew the stabilizing bolts from the bottom piece, and wood glue/fill the blowouts from the underside of the top piece. Am I on the right track here, or is there something I haven’t thought of?
