If the glue broke due to the HEAT from the soldering iron, those transistors
are most likely toasted. You hafta be carefull with heat, even though most
transistors are pretty hefty. If however the glue just isn't sticking, I
must ask what kind of glue you are using. Is it an epoxy, a heated glue-gun,
etc, etc. I used a glue-gun, and it held fine while I soldered. After you
get everything soldered it will pretty much hold itself together and you can
gob on more heat-gun glue to 'secure' it.

HTH.
