'put right' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'chap put wrongly?' is the wordplay.
'wrongly?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'wrongly' mean this).
'chap'+'put'='chapput'
'chapput' anagrammed gives 'PATCH-UP'.

'what the' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for patch up that I've seen before include "put right" , "Restore (relationship) after quarrel" , "Settle (quarrel) temporarily" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
