Bought Dap Polyurethane since the Ace guy told me it was the best but after looking at the tube it says nothing about shingles.

It says wood, fiberglass, metal, concrete.

You would be better served by 1) not putting too much credence in what sales folks say, and 2) use a product from the Henry line of roofing adhesive/sealers.

Just use roof cement, aka tar in a tube. Brand doesnt matter, it's the most compatible sealant available.

"Loose shingles" is the first warn flag.
That could be a bunch of issues that no form of a quick fix will work.
Please post a picture and more info so everyone will know that your really dealing with to get this right.

It's a 30 year roof that is 3 years old with one shingle that will flap when the wind blows in a certain direction.

When i search for roof cement i do get the stuff the guy gave me (polyurethane) black.
Like Joe was hinting at, could be you are missing a nail or two. The sealant you have will work fine, but check for missing nails, or possibly shingle torn thru at the nail location(s).
Sticky goop no matter what brand is not the proper cure for a defective roof. Something was not done properly during the installation. Most likely the shingle was not nailed properly.
