You could try the greenstuff+superglue method. Apply a tiny drop of glue, a ball of greenstuff, then a tiny bit of glue to the other bit. Push together and hold.

I assembled my Monster Challenge dragon with this method, and it has held together nicely without pinning.

This is your problem.

Plastic Glue is only made for plastic models, it will not work on metal, resin, wood, stone or any other material. You will need superglue. And if it is stilll difficult try greenstuff, or on monsters, pinning.

Also useful to use pinning when glueing metal especially on larger models. Also I sometime use epoxy resin on larger models.
