Use a toothpick to spread the glue as far under the veneer as you can. Then place a ruler or a thin board on top of the veneer. Use clamps to hold down the ruler or board and let dry over night. Clamped this way, the veneer should dry flat and no one will know it was ever a problem.
If the glue might squeeze up through cracks in the veneer you'll want to put something between the veneer and the ruler/board so they don't stick together.
