What do you use for glue to glue it back down now that it is coming up in some corners.

I helped my dad put down some peel and stick tile when I was a kid. He said "They left a word out- its peel, GLUE and stick".

How many corners are coming up? If it's just a few corners I would gently lift the corner and squirt some liquid nails under it. If it's most of the corners it's trying to tell you the floor is all coming up. Better to peal it all off and start over. The floor surface needs to be very smooth. If not some of the box stores sell 1/4" birch plywood floor underlayment you can glue and nail to the floor if it's a wood floor. If it's a concrete floor Mapei makes a skim coat leveling compound which gives a good surface to work off of. Then Henry makes a peal and press floor adhesive. I find the stuff to be too thin so I use two coats. With two coats the tile sticks good.

Showcrop you didn't say what you were applying the tiles to . Is it new plywood or an existing surface?if its peeling because its not level, I would agree with liquid nails and
put some weight on the tile til it cures to keep it down. If its peeling because lack of glue use the peel stick adhesive. Make sure surface is clean dry and free of wax.

This is in restrooms at my church. They were put in approx. 10 years ago, over floor that had been carpet. There are not many loose corners yet, they are barely noticeable. the plywood underneath still looks new. I just want to keep ahead of it and avoid a headache.

Chances are water from repeated floor moppings has seeped between the tiles and caused the glue to fail.
If you're lucky you might be able to get them to stick down by using a heat gun to warm the tile, then put weight on them until they cool. If that doesn't work you'll have to glue them down floor tile adhesive or construction adhesive.

Yes Pops, you are right, which is why I was asking what to use for glue. Can you tell me what to look for for tile adhesive or construction adhesive? Those are kind of broad descriptions.
