How to glue my tablet?

See the images to better undestanding: https://imgur.com/a/6cP5W

Some kind of flap got out of my tablet, it was glued with some adhesive material, but that got dirty and didn't worked anymore so i just removed it all and try to glue it with Cyanoacrylate Adhesive.

Didn't worked, what material can i use to glue this??

Most cyanoacrylate adhesives are terrible at computer plastics. Unfortunately you may have warped or damaged the plastic by applying it, so a proper repair may not be possible. You can try Loctite 681925 but be aware that by gluing that piece back on you may be negating, or at least making more difficult, the possibility of future repairs.

Thanks for answering.

Yup i realized i &&^&@@ up, should have asked first here :/

Is not in warranty anymore and i can't find a service in my zone, so i guess i'll have to fix it myself, i can't find Loctite 681925 in my country, do you know what is the main component so i can find something similar around here? i have metal epoxy idk if that would be useful.

After looking closer at the pictures, I think my plan of attack would be to spend some time with a small pick and scrape away as much of the cured cyanoacrylate as you can, then use a few pieces of 3M adhesive tape at strategic contact points and stick them together. It should be strong enough to hold together, but you'd be able to remove it if you needed access.

(Shop around; that's just an example.) If you have a cell phone repair shop near you they likely have some at their workbench and will probably give you a few inches of it just for asking.
