Best superglue for Corsair RAM?

I seem to be one of those affected with some Corsair DDR5 Vengeance RAM where the plastic cap that covers the RGB has fallen off.  I've tried just pushing it back in, but its fallen out again.  I don't believe its worth the time/pain to go through an RMA for it as there is no issue with the RAM itself. 

 

Has anyone else with this issue just tried to glue it back on? 

 

or

 

Can anyone recommend a type of glue that should be used that isn't conductive or will melt the plastic and will actually hold it together?

Standard superglue and careful application should be all you need. Don't use a lot and only get it on the heat spreader and plastic RGB diffuser. You can get a gel style superglue as well so it's less runny and will stay in place.

Gel all the way. Have never had liquid keep a good grab on plastic. Gel is able to hold it in place while it cures and doesn't leak very easily.

E6000 also works pretty well at keeping things in place, but may not be optimal in this scenario.
