Peter Grey posted shoe goo as being ideal.
What ever glue you use,, maybe a thick CA glue, I would rub the brass on a piece of sandpaper to create a mechanical bond. Set a sheet of 80 grit on the bench and scratch it or rough the surface.
Tighten up the pedal to align the damper assembly but still have spring pressure when you put the felts in place
Once you have the barrels aligned with the note, wires all bent and looking the same distance from the string plane, You glue the felts on in the piano.

Subject: glue for brass damper blocks, again
I am still not sure what kind of glue to use on my brass damper blocks. One person PVC-E glue, but is that not irreversible? Wood glue of some sort is always the preferred glue on a piano. The next tech who looks at this piano might get quite techy when he discovers I have used a glue that he cannot get off!
Will a regular (titebound) type glue work?
