Ophs cut that one off? was the surround built up with concrete before the granite was applied? are they 3/4 slabs or tiles? is it set in thin-set or is it applied with adhesive like silicon, liquid nails or mastic?
At 2.54 you can see this guy using mastic to apply tiles to a surround, and how you back butter the tile and apply to wall... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS1rPSO-XCQ If your repair is a tile I would use Mastic (adhesive) get gray. Larger and thicker side slab, I would use thin-set. Both will require a small trowel with teeth, check your product to see the size required. I would first use a chisel to remove as much of the old product as possible first from the surface it was on . Apply mastic to wall, and back butter tile. Once in place, use a level to make sure it is level, and flush to surfaces touching, and I would use painter's tape to hold in place for the day.
Scrape off any adhesive in the area. Use a concrete construction adhesive in a caulk tube and stick it back on. Use tape to hold it in place as the glue dries.

backer wood, the cement is all stuck to the 1/2" granite tile, will that have to be removed prior to putting on a special glue
