Default Softail Slim LED Brake-Turn light fail

Hey Guys, I recently installed a ricks 200 rear fender on my 2018 slim. I decided to use a LED brake-turn taillight combo. The adhesive just won't hold the light. Any ideas on what I can use that might be strong enough. The light still works but its in pretty bad shape. Being that I only used it for 2 rides I'm going to try and get a little more use out if it.

Are you sure that it's just the adhesive that does not hold or is the tire rubbing when you hit a pothole in the road or so ? I've got the same lights in the past and
kept them in place with automotive double sided tape from 3M or Finixa, good products. But if the tire is the problem, no adhesive wil hold that.
