I don't have any glue recommendations, but I think glue is not necessary. You can just cut the strings in the back without the bracelet coming undone, especially if you are using the flat alpha technique.

I agree with what halokiwi said, but in case you still wanna glue them down I think a normal glue stick (the kind you use for paper) should be fine. I had an edge string on a normal snap) so I had to put a new one in and glue it down in the back so it doesn't stick out and the glue stick worked fine. An added bonus is that it doesnt make the strings harden like nail polish does so theres no chance of any of the strings poking you as you wear the bracelet.

i’ve had times where i had a color switch on the knot right before the last one in a row and i couldn’t quite cut it close enough for it not to stick out. i either use E600 (be careful with this is dries SUPER fast and it’s extremely sticky) or just regular elmer’s craft glue. but like the other two people said if it’s just a regular string in the back you can just cut it and it should be fine (:
