Can I glue my lifting screen back down after replacement?

So my screen had cracked, and with my warranty up, I decided to replace it myself with a digitizer I purchased off eBay for roughly $40. Replacement went fine, but now after about two days, the top portion and now sides of screen have begun to lift away from the frame, and a gap is widening between the glass and digitizer frame. Versus purchasing another digitizer assembly, or having Apple do it at an astronomical cost, I would like to just try and appy adhesive to the problem areas, and DIY it. What kind of adhesive would I use is really the only question that I would have. I figured superglue would become to brittle and eventually crumble under shock, but then hot glue does not hold well either. Ideally I need a glue that does not expand upon hardening, and maintains a strong hold between surfaces. If anyone knows of a store bought equivalent to Apple's adhesive, your knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

How did you attached the lcd to touch screen? Or you just bought them together, preinsatlled?!

For connecting lcd part the repair shop uses a special glue called uv glue , they can be purchased online and they are very clear and bonding strong, you need a uv lamp to make it bond the part but you can use sunlight as a uv lamp too, but a lamp is better.(im not sure you really need uv to bond cause i didnt use this glue)

Hot glue will fail since its weak in small amounts , instant glue is good but if sth goes wrong you cant go back...(missing linement , white spots when dried)

Tips :you can use hair dryer before trying glue , warm up edges of screen , then press it down hard till it cools(press with a book)

- becareful about dust

-i dont warranty information ,do on your own risk ;)
