From How to Put Carpet Treads on Already-Carpeted Stairs, Step 5: Position and Press Carpet Treads
Align the stair tread carefully on the wooden stair, making sure it is centered and straight relative to the edge of the step. Once you are satisfied with the positioning, press down firmly on the area where the first adhesive strip was exposed to secure that edge of the tread. Then, reach under the tread, if possible, or gently lift the unadhered portion, and peel off the second protective paper strip from the remaining adhesive backing.

With both adhesive strips removed and the tread positioned, use your hands to firmly press down across the entire surface of the carpet stair tread.

This will securely fasten the tread in place, preventing shifting and providing a non-slip surface.
