SportsJunky is right, if you have already pulled the floor up once I would avoid doing it again as you may end up with a lot more gaps in your floor due to the locks being worn out.
You need a recommended quarter inch gap all around the floor from any walls obstructions and under transitions to allow the floating floor to move, expand and contract to avoid buckling planks or separating seams. If the transition is glued to the sub-floor and the planks than that could be your problem. The planks in question are in the same row as the transition correct?
Where did you purchase the material from? You may be able to order more stock if replacing part of it is an option. But depending on the brand and popularity it may be discontinued. There seems to be a lot of turnover in flooring material these days.
You're options are:
1) Live with it as is
2) Try to fix it/glue the joints in question back together
3) Uninstall up to the trouble area and re-install using extra material if you can get your hands on some
4) Start from scratch and do your whole floor again
If you decide to go the route of installing new flooring or hiring someone to try to fix it PM me. I install hardwood, cork, laminate and tile. I know there are other guys on CP who do install work as well from what I have read. Hope this helps.
