I don't think glueing your dog's ears without professional help or guidance will be of much use... I personally do not have experience with this, but my next door neighbour has a GSD that has one ear permanently down. I personally think it's because there was not enough of a calcium : phosphorous balance in the diet during growth, as their dog is exceptionally large for a GSD (they're bred to be 100+lbs). There's a lot of threads on here about how to help ears stand naturally without using glue, and those may be worth looking into. But if you have never glued ears before, I would consult a vet or breeder who has experience with it.
Leave his ears alone and give him stuff to chew on. It is possible that you have slowed the process down by trying to glue them. It is not uncommon for ears to go up and down until they are nearly a year old.
My breeder recommended that if the ears weren't up by 6 months to go and see her and she would use some foam and special glue to help the ears stand - there is a small window of time where you can help between 6-8 months and after that if the ears aren't standing they aren't going to. It isn't unheard of to help the ears to stand - where did you get your puppy from? Perhaps go back to your breeder or vet and ask their advice.
