Drill through both and attach with hardware - gluing plastic to metal is dicey. Some landlords use caulk but it could loosen. Some use lexel for plastic to plastic, but I don't know about metal.

Pop rivets are great method - I should have remembered that.
I used Lexel

And yet one more alternative...you can drill a tiny pilot hole and use a slightly larger sheet metal screw. John M

Bulldog has given excellent advice.... Lexcel is the trick!
