@finch1 - Rachel you’ll need to clean the mating surfaces with a some acetone (reagent quality) to make sure the old Cyanoacrylate glue that was used to hold the stud is removed. Make sure the surfaces are smooth any unevenness will prevent good adhesion.
You might find the stud will fit better in one position rotate it around until its at the best placement make a mark with a fine point marker to index the placement.
Here’s a good reference on Cyanoacrylate glues
I would use a gel type and while it is weird you want to breathe onto the area! The moisture in your breath will speed up the setting.
You’ll want a small but heavy weight to help hold stud in place as the glue sets. While holding it with your finger might make sense on some jobs, I find our bodies move too much which causes glue to fail to set correctly.
So you want to get your setup just right before you start and you want to wear dust-free nitrile gloves so you don’t glue your self ;-}
When you put the screw back in you don’t want to over tighten it as the stud can shear-off again. Just tighten snugly and place a drop of nail polish on the edge for the head of the screw to prevent it from loosening up from the fans vibrations (don’t over do it)

@finch1 - The pics appear to show the mounting stud on the logic board has been snapped off! This 'nut' needs to be remounted to the logic board so the fans mount screw can be secured to it.
Can you take the fan fully off and then take a nice clear pic of the mount area on the logic board, as well as the mating side of the stud if you still have it.
