Thanks for your help. I found a little silicone, so attached them that way and see if they hold. If not, I guess I'll look for glue, but I figured that siliconing them would be easier to get off if I ever want to change things up.

I had read on various DIY LED build threads NOT to use superglue to adhere the optic to the LED star. I guess the fumes given off by the superglue while curing damage and cloud the inside of the optic.

What was suggested was using 2 part epoxy instead and putting a small dab on the back of the optic with a toothpick, then pressing the optic onto the LED star.
