I've tried liquid nails on metal and was disapointed.
It is not hard to drill out the rivets to remove the molding. A common pop-rivet tool can be used to re-install. Less than $50.00 to buy one. If you know somebody who installs siding or gutters they probably have one. It is hard to tell from the pictures but it seems to me that something is distorted and should be straightened ...much easier to do if the molding is removed.
Mine came loose because the door dropped down onto an obstruction. This caused the bottom edge of the molding to be forced away from the door sheet aluminum .
Your solution may work ...A rivet would hold better than a screw which will probably "work' loose over time. That door endures a lot of vibration and flexing that may require a tighter "hold" than a self threading screw would provide.
