There are really "Two" issues with the door struts.

Plate that struts mount to comes loose from door. It is fastened with a combo of rivets and adhesive caulking.

Strut bracket that fastens to plate with #8 sheet metal screws comes loose.

Refastening the original plate is possible but a larger plate that incorporates the metal edging of the door itself for at least 2 of the rivet holes and then using a good 5 minute apoxy works better.

The bracket screws that continually need monitoring can be dealt with by changing the method of mounting them to the plate while you have the plate removed by using countersink headed machine screws from the rear of the plate and nylok nuts on the visible side.

The other point that should be mentioned: The struts themselves are 60# rated struts that are "overkill" for the weight of that door. This in itself is putting too much force onto those plates and brackets when you are forcing the door down to close it.
