All indications is that this SRB expelled its nozzle, notably by the direction the exhaust plume ended up going from this booster.
All reports indicate the payload arrived at its destination, but it really seems like ULA is starting to lose industry confidence, now having lost Tory Bruno to Blue Origin.

This is really not okay. We have a Canadians scheduled to fly on Starliner on Vulcan including Joshua Kutryk and Shawna Pandya. Both growing up within 50km of me.
I really can't see Starliner launching again.
