What type of glue? Using a marine glue?
The ecotech glue is reliable and will set under water.

I usually make a small ball of epoxy, and put the gel glue on one side, glue it to the frag, and put glue on the other side and squish it into place.

I'm just using crazy glue advanced gel but I will order some of the stuff you suggested . I would think my main problem is gluing plugs to already established rock. But Often it feels strong but let's go after a while?

Sounds like your glue is no good I have glued down my entire sps reef with the ecotech crazy glue works great in the water.

I had the same problem until I started using a nail brush to scrub the LR
Once scrubbed, the glue stays stuck - enough so that I have to pry it off with a screwdriver
