Default Throttle Grip Problem

The grip on my throttle side came loose. The throttle still works but its a pain in the a$$ because the grip wants to keep turning when i get into it. I did not install the grips nor have I ever done any. What could be the problem here and or what holds the grips on? Someone said I probably just need to re-glue it. If thats the case what type of glue do you all recommend?

Throttle grip is not glued on. There's a couple screws in the clamp that tighten it to the bars. Tighten those screws and you should be fine.

What type of glue is good to use for the left grip? I asked HD but the tech said they use "just regular glue" and didn't really want to give away his top secret in hopes that they can do it "for a small fee". Whatever, just need to know what kind of glue is recommended
