Smoke Blower
The board is likely fiberglass or similar, and should not be bothered by the heat.
Soldering it is the proper solution. There may be some sort of adhesive you could try to use, but if so, I'm not aware of one. If desperate, you could try maybe spreading the pins a bit, to try and keep them in electrical contact with the board, and epoxy the connector to the board. But that would be kind of a last-ditch approach, in my opinion, it's really not the proper way to fix this.
This could be a bit tricky to solder, if you didn't have access to the metal contacts on/within the board.
Do the posts stick through beyond the back side of the board? If the posts stick out past the back of the board, that might make things easier. How are the others similar connectors attached, on the back side? Are there visible blobs of solder on the back of the board, where those attach? If so, that's good, that means you'll hopefully have access to the board's metal contacts from behind the board.
You can likely get a little soldering iron for around $10. One example:
You'll need rosin-core solder as well, or else plain solder and separate flux. The rosin core is the flux, which helps clean the connections, and lets the solder stick better. I prefer solder with lead, rather than the lead-free solder (solder with lead is easier to work with, and melts at a lower temperature).
