there are special screws for using in pressed board. those aren't them, and are what helped cause the problem.
after fixing the split, fill the hole with wood glue and jam wood toothpicks in until the hole is packed. when hard, predrill a pilot hole, and use the correct screws.

Ordinary wood glue might be a bit marginal with he chip board you have. Consider a slow cure epoxy for a better repair, which could serve better for the hole repair with toothpicks, or even epoxy in a small dowel for serious holding power.
