I have four hooks from ikea and one periodically has the main hook part come off the screws that attach it to the mounting plate. Should I use adhesive to ensure the screws won’t come loose, or replace the screws?
How to keep these hook mounting screws tight

The best thing you can use is threadlocker, which is a special glue designed to keep screws from coming out. A drop on the threads keeps them from slipping. There are different grades and colors, you'd probably want blue.
If you don't want to buy threadlocker you can try a drop of superglue. One of the comments say you can try nail polish, I haven't had much success with that trick but if you have it on hand you could give it a try.
