Julie,
There is no rule against it and I know many teams use glue in some form to hold PWM cables in place. It must be done with caution, however, if you suspect a defect. IFI may not repair it under warranty if it is full of glue or some other adhesive. We have used punched aluminum for a base for all electrical devices and simply use tywraps to hold down the components, power wiring and control wiring. A few snips with a side cutter and the suspect part is removed and replaced.
