I don't see or feel any regulation problems with these keys, at least anything different from its neighboring keys. None of the other stickers dislocate - ever. I don't know how to permanantly repair this problem. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What has probably happened is that the wood gap at the end of the key has widened, perhaps some of the wood has been chipped off. You can make a permanent repair by gluing a wood shim in the slot, or using an epoxy type glue that will fill in the gap. A quicker way is to attach the sticker to the key with a rubber band.
