I took in two males at the beginning of this year.
They came with damage to their shells. I’m only assuming due to low heat lamps.

one main top scute is about to fall off. Now I know when it happens it happens. But I had a question as to if there is anything I can apply to the exposed “dead” bone to protect him?

No protection needed. That dead bone is still offering protection.
