You can't use regular glue and you can't even use the best kind of glue either. Just use crazy glue, this way, it will stick and is able to come off at the same time. If you use anything industrial, or stronger you might end up with an protector that can't even come off, if need replacing. That is how strong the glue can be. So I would just use crazy glue, so when it damage, it can be removed again.

I AM SERIOUS, YOU DO NOT WANT THE FACEPLACE TO STAY ON FOREVER.

Better buy a brand new face plate and glut that on if this is what you want.

It will get scratched up, eventually and the person will want to replace the faceplate again. My advice, just use crazy glue. It will stick. That is the reason why the faceplates came off, because Nintendo, knew people would want to replace them, so it sticks but not forever.
