There is another kind of solution for it?

You did the installation incorrectly. For one thing, you DO NOT use superglue! Virtually any heat will break the bond of super glue. You want LocTite THREADLOCKER. This is not the same as superglue.
Either drill a small dimple in the barrel where the set screw contacts the barrel or file a small flat across the bottom of the barrel. Either one will keep the adapter from sliding forward.
Then put a bead of BLUE LocTite on the end of the barrel and twist the adaptor around the barrel once or twice to evenly distribute the LocTite. Then put a drop of LocTite on the set screw and tighten it down, TIGHT. You will not deform or bend the barrel in any fashion doing this.
Let the LocTite cure for 48 hours!!!!
I've had an adaptor on my barrel for something over 10k rounds, and it's as tight as it was the first time I shot it after the installation.
