How do I get these records to stick?

These were my father's records and I remember seeing them my whole life. Instead of leaving them tucked away, I finally framed them a few months ago -- bought the frame and gold background board and adhered the records to the gold with folded Frog Tape. Now one has fallen out of place. I don't want to harm the records with whatever I use to adhere them so am not sure what I should use. I placed what I thought was plenty of backing cardboard behind them to help hold them securely, but maybe I didn't. Can anyone suggest a better adhesive material or should I first try adding another piece of backing cardboard?
A small brad in the center hole would keep them from slipping.
Use photo mounting tape, but the brad idea is good too.
Awesome records!

Hi Louise! There’s also mounting putty that can be found in Target, hardware stores, and Amazon: Tombow Xtreme Removable Indoor/Outdoor Mounting Putty, 60 Pieces (62133) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QXJFSB8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_K.BsCb3P4DKK2
Try tapping in a tiny finishing nail and rest the hole in the record on it .
I stick pin would work if you didn't want to use a finishing nail.
Use Little bit of super glue, or E6000 if you aren't trying to take them off with them useable in the end!
My dad used Velcro on the wall and the back of the records
Command strips
Cut out circles the right diameter from cardboard, put the discs in the holes and place glass over.
How many do you have and exactly how long do you want to not use them....what about putting them on plate easels on top of cupboards or cabinets
I would use Elmer's Rubber Cement. It holds great and if you need to remove them, the cement glue will rub right off.
