I've noticed that one side of my labia minora seems to be sort of detached for some reason. Is this normal, or should I worry about it? Is it possible to get it fixed?

Like flowers, labia comes in all sorts of different sizes, shapes, and colors.
Is what you're describing painful or inflamed in any way? Has it been like this all your life? If this is something brand new and it's causing you discomfort then I would discuss it with an OB-GYN. If not, it sounds like this may just be the way you're made. Another little detail that makes you, you. -
To add to what Ashlee T. said, it is normal for labia to be asymmetric. In other words, not a mirror image from one side to the other.I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.
...
Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
From a speech by Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775 at St. John's Church, Richmond, VirginiaComment

To echo what everyone else has been saying - all vulvas and vaginas are different! As long as what you're describing is not a new growth (i.e. something out of the ordinary that wasn't there before) and you're not in pain, then I don't think you have anything to worry about. If you're really interested in seeing just how unique all vulvas are, I recommend looking up "labia library!" It's a really fun and sweet site that celebrates vaginas and has really interesting facts too!Comment
