There are often simple ways to repair equipment and by looking for fixing screws around the lower part under the foam pad may give you a clue. You may need a Torx screwdriver to undo any screws rather than a cross head.
Hope that solves your problem. Please mark as helpful if it leads you to a satisfactory solution.Thank you.

Instructions:
Safety First: Unplug the sander for complete safety.
Remove the Old Pad: The pad is typically held in place by small tabs or by a hook-and-loop (Velcro-like) system. Look at how the old pad is attached and gently remove it.
Inspect the Area: Clean any debris or buildup where the pad mounts.
Install the New Pad:
Tabs: Align the tabs of the new pad with the grooves on the sander base.
Hook-and-Loop: Press the new pad firmly against the sander base.
Check Securely: Ensure the pad is seated correctly and won't slip during operation.
Things to Note:
Specific Model: Slight variations may exist for different model numbers. Your owner's manual, if available, would have the most accurate instructions.
Ordering the Pad: Make sure you get the exact replacement pad for your sander model. They are usually available online or at stores carrying Ryobi tools.
