As it's a heated element I think you'd need something more than 'sticky pads'. I would use a two part resin glue, something like Arldite, to stick the element to the plastic backing and then the mirror to the element pad. When Arldite has fully set it's more or less like glass.

You can try the sticky pads but I doubt they'll last very long.
