Need advice with leather

I have a small leather that is on the rockwork close to the glass. Last night my daughter decided to clean the glass and ran the magnet between the leather and the glass and partially tore it from the rock. It is still attached bu about 1/3 of the base. Should I just leave it alone and let it reattach or try to tie/glue it back down?
