If the wallpaper does not stick to the wall, then you need to put in more effort.

If you want the wallpaper to stick well to the wall, you should carefully prepare the surface.

As experts note, wallpaper glue is suitable for this purpose; it should be applied to the walls and the wallpaper itself. Then the peeled off piece should be joined with the others.
