I was just wondering if Liquid Nails, or Contact Cement, or some other type

Contact Cement is that I think they both remain slightly flexible/elastic

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what might work best?

Sounds like a job for Gorilla Glue. It's an incredibly strong
polyurethane adhesive. It's great for furniture repairs like this
because it expands as it dries, filling voids made from earlier
repairs.

It's absolutely worthless as a filler...the expansion is simply air
foam.

If the joint isn't tight, it isn't going to hold.

Need to fix the looseness of the joint first, then reglue.
