Unhappy Broken 12 string headstock

Hey all. I'm new here and require some help. I recently went to play my ibanez 12 string and when I opened up the case I found it cracked. The guitar was only 500 bucks or so. My wife got it for me as an anniversary present so I would really like to repair it. I live 3 hours away from the nearest luthier so I was hoping to repair it myself. The break is not complete. The first picture shows the break, which ends right in the middle of the first set of tuning peg holes

The next pic is me pulling the break apart as far as it will go till I start to hear slight cracking noises.

I have some pro carpenters wood glue that advertises 3500 psi holding strength. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated . I can also add more pics if needed.
