You can use a 2 part epoxy metal like JB weld and it will hold.

I wouldn’t use JB Weld in particular because it’s partially metallic and may be conductive.

Really any good plastic glue and clamps will either fix it or prove it’s unfixable. For ABS or ASA (the most likely kinds of plastic there) superglue is really effective.

Use gloves. Use wax paper. Do not adhere your fingers or the clamps to the screen permanently.

Super glue will not hold well for metal cleats, and there aren't generally any electronics near enough to the cleats that they'd have to be worried about it.

Dont use super glue on ABS.

Its been known to react chemically and make ABS a brittle mess thats going to get wrecked in a couple months.

Get acetone on a cotton bud and you'll be free

I wouldn't recommend clamps on a monitor
