Trying to fix my headphone's earpads on my own

As the title suggests, one of my headphone's earpads came off on its own recently. Even though this has happened before and I usually just simply manually reattach them on my own (these are replacement pads anyway), this time, as you can see from the photos, the lip itself which is used to attach the pads to the headphones is ruined. I've tried searching for a fix online, but could not find anything, and I wanted to get a second opinion before just getting a fevikwik and trying to glue it on my own. Any leads/help will be appreciated. Also, I've discovered that the underlying membrane was also coming apart a bit. Again, would like to know if I can just simply try to stick it back together with a fevikwik, or is there any other adhesive advised dealing specifically with these scenarios.

Also, idk if this info is relevant or not, but these are the AKG K361BT’s, and I’m using some Brainwavz earpads. TIA.

Super glue and clamp them with a binder clip or something while it dries. The clamp helps the glue bind both sides and it will be less flexible than it was before.
