I once did this to a radeon card. But instead of gluing, I screwed the fan in place. The heatsink had fins and I could screw a screw between the fins. Searching the net for your card I saw that your heatsink is smooth. I think your only solution is gluing.
Again, not very elegant, but cheap and efficient.
First sign of a wearing noise and I change mine.
