The only thing you can do to prevent you Nexus 6 from encountering back-plate detached issue is to prevent your phone from overheating. Since it has to be with the glue used by manufacture to attach the back cover to the body, you know that overheating make the glue strength lower. So if your phone is used too much and the device find itself in overheating issue many times a day, than the adhesive strength will become lower day by day until the back cover will be fully detached.

So prevent your phone from overheating. To do that don’t play huge games for a long time. Also don’t use your phone while it is charging because it will overheat the device too much. Using third party apps that will clean the memory and boost the phone performance is good idea to stop the device from overheating.
