What's the correct procedure? Apply the glue into the cut or just over
the surface?

This article implies you'd best keep it as much out of the cut as
possible:

"In learning to apply tissue adhesives, the most important concept is
that they are for topical closure only. Give special care to ensure
the adhesive will not leak between the wound edges. If used properly,
the adhesive acts as a strong bridge to hold the well-opposed wound
edges together. If placed in the wound, it acts as a barrier to proper
epithelialization* and may slow healing. Once in the wound, the
adhesive also has the potential to cause a foreign-body reaction and
to increase the risk of infection."
