There is quite a choice for this job. You want an adhesive that is strong enough to do the job, but not fall off in use, yet can easily be removed.
You could try white PVA glue. Old fashioned UHU glue. Instant gasket clear. Clear mastic. Virtually anything that sets rubbery.
Hope that helps,
Zippy. 😎👍🏻

I’ve heard clear epoxy is good for sticking things to stuff that you might want to remove later, but I haven’t tried it myself

Try clear nail varnish, tap with a small hammer, or gum them up with paint.
