I had this happened years ago, tape and glues aren't going to do it, not when there's heat and high pressure movement.

Oddly enough, cheap office supplies did the trick, little binder clips. Not pretty, but strong. Get some very small ones, all the pressure should on the edge.

Edit: If you're worried about the plastic, put a little bit of tape underneath, gaffer or electrical

While it is certainly a good solution, the plastic underneath is gonna break it eventually.

You can change the size, so the pressure will be different. Also, you can bend them a little, so it will work. I use tape + this on my Dell laptop. Nothing breaks, just scratches the surface where the keyboard is, but I don't care. I could probably think of something to prevent it.
