I'm guessing this "adhesive" is basically a uv gel polish. (I'm a nailtech) - I use this kind of UV light for my clients (on a bigger scale), so if you will cleanup the adhesive before you cure it, it should wipe right off. Then cure.
I wouldn't call it a polish, it's LOCA which stands for liquid optically clear adhesive. It's definitely different than a polish that actually hardens because LOCA stays in a semi soft state allowing it to be easily removed. Unfortunately the way these protectors are installed it would be very difficult to clean them before curing them.

I agree.

The phone needs to remain in the cradle for curing at the 1st stage and then removed from the cradle for a 2nd curing.

I have done it perfectly but do get the glue residue at the edges. Used to have it on the Note 8 as well.... Drives me mad but just keep on cleaning with a lens cleaner solution!

If you move the protector and glue comes out, try letting it sit for for a bit. The phone screen repels the liquid, but the back of the tempered glass does not and the thin space creates a capillary action that tends to suck it back in. There are 4 small protrusions on the backside of the glass that creates a thin gap. The liquid will try to fill this space.
