I have read duco cement works well and it burns up since its highly flammable. I have played around with gorilla glue on a few loads with the plastic Winchester cases. I wouldn't recommend it or any glue that expands like that. The top 2 glues I see recommended especially for all brass shells is a hot glue gun or duco. Water glass is often mentioned but the cure time on it seems to be the longest.
If you wanted to find out which glue is going to hold the overshot card in place the best you could load a few dummy rounds with different glues and toss them in a tumbler and see which holds up the best.
I find the best way to keep the overshot card from shifting around is to have it sitting flush on top of a shotcup, works essentially like a tiny manhole cover. Keeps the overshot card from bending/conforming to the shot column as well.
