Hi Bobby I want to show my solution.
I did the Estes Saturn V... and I had the same issue. Broken tower.
Launching without LES tower ? .. I think is horrible...
The issue is the structure made in pastic is not robust enough to survive the hits that are taken during re-entry and landing.
The use of wires to get an horizontal position is better than nothing, but not enough. It don't solve the real problem.
So how to make it more robust ?
I did a litte add. I put a wood stick in the middle of the capsule. It is passing trough all capsule structure and I use to hold the eyebolt too.
I found this solution, tested the 1st time on the Estes Saturn V, very effective. Since I adopted I newer broken a tower in all of my scale models in hundred of launches.
If tower is broken... it means that the model is completely destroyed. So the issue is no longer the tower itself.
Here I put the picture of a Saturn V I did. In this case is scratch built, but you can see clearly how it is made.

This is before paint . The stick in this case has the same size of the LES. In the estes one was smaller diameter.
Here after paint and tower structure assembly. You see that painted in black it is not well visible.

In you case you will have to dismoun the tower. Drill one hole in the capsule and into the tower. The Estes LES has a diameter of around 6,5mm . Use a wood stick of 4mm, you'll find easily in the hobby shops. Then glue all back togheter.
You'll see the "broken tower" will be a memory of the past ;-)
