Can we glue an antenna for Lora?

Hi guys,

To get my spring antenna to hold well, I think that after soldering the end to the PCB, I will add glue to the spring body and lay it on the PCB. Or a 3d printed part that physically hold it.

Is a glue or a plastic could reduce the performance of the antenna?

Thanks
