Scuff the backs of the organizers with fine sandpaper to give the tape something to bite into. Remove all residue, and prep with alcohol. Allow the tape to cure for 48 hours, longer if below 70° F. Lastly, don't overload them, IIRC, 2.5 lbs. each.

What is the organizer made out of? ABS? If permanent isn't an issue, try ABS Glue?

Otherwise, what Barney said^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks for the suggestions. I spent the last 3-days testing more products with poor results.

3-different silicone adhesevives-FAIL
JB Weld- FAIL
3M Industrial Velcro -Fail ( let go slowly before coming off)
Gorrilla tape-FAIL
Scotch Velcro-Exterior grade-Fail

The backing on the organized seems to be made of UHMW or Teflon. Definitely a difficult material to bond!
PL Premium is curing right now and will see how that works in a day or two.

Yeah, if you're dealing with uhmw or Teflon, you're going to play hell getting anything to stick to it. Kind of the whole purpose of those products is to not have anything stick to it, LOL. Kind of an odd choice of material for them to make that out of. I might be tempted to screw a thin piece of regular plastic or abs to the back of it with some countersunk flat heads in an effort to give it a different material to adhere to. You definitely get an A for effort though buddy! Way to stick with it, pun intended.

Liquid nails for shower stalls? They have the slick back on them. Just an idea.

You will need to scuff the surface to which you want to adhere to.
Got to get a "Toe Hold".

I recently helped a friend install a new refrigerator, and his wife put a couple of those sticky bug strips on the floor without us knowing. We each stepped on one, and couldn't get them off. I don't know what's in that stuff, but it's nasty sticky. I had to throw my shoes away, lol! If you could figure out what makes them so sticky, you'd never get your organizer off again.

OP ... you've got way more patience than I do ... That would have been in the nearest "File 13" and I'd have given myself a cold beer as a reward
