Identify what is affixed and where
写真を貼付する and ラベルを貼付する describe attaching a photo or label. Read both the object and location to turn formal instructions into a concrete action.
例：整理した箱の側面に、内容が分かるラベルを貼付した。
I affixed a label identifying the contents to the side of the organized box.
Do not choose the spelling by sound alone
Tenpu is documented as a customary reading of 貼付. Since it can sound like 添付, check the written context rather than selecting the spelling from the sound alone. Here it describes pasting onto a surface.
