Default Hacker gearbox repair question

I have a Hacker B20 16L with a 4:1 gearbox. I was testing it in the shop and the end of the gearbox came apart and detached itself. After several weeks I finally found all three planetary gears and can now reassemble it. The last gear was found deeply embedded in the foam wing of another airplane.

I am wondering how to keep the end of the gearbox from coming off again. It looks like it was a pressure fit but now does not fit in very tightly. Do you think that Loctite 609 (the green stuff) will keep it in place?
