I recently bought new wheels and pro-line caliber sc tires. I'm having a tough time getting the back beadlock to sit properly when I tried glueing them. The front isn't an issue, just the back.

I got all this because I plan on running more at a clay track, and my stock wheels are starting to break
 
If you're running true beadlocks, you don't need any glue. The beadlock rings should hold the tire in place securely with the lip of the tire inside of a ring machined in the rim. I have never had any trouble with my Maximizer beadlocks on my Revo even when running a Picco .26 Max.
 
Those tires are not meant for beadlocks. They glue in like 1/bth buggy tires do if I remember correctly. The bead is not shaped to work with a beadlock.
You mentioned gluing them, did you get a Proline 4.0 rim? If not there's your problem.
 
Ok, I made a mistake with words. I bought the red wheels for the slash. They are like the stock wheels for the slayer. They do need to be glued, but the back bead is giving me trouble to line up
