Some (hopefully) helpful hints.

Before anything, go and get yourself some high quality marine epoxy paste. I use PC-7, a 2-part epoxy that is available in most Ace Hardware stores

step one: prepare the surfaces by cleaning/sanding both the neoprene shock mount and the wood veneer where the mount attaches (I suggest removing the seat back from the frame to facilitate this process).

step two: thoroughly mix the two epoxy components and apply a small amount to both surfaces, being careful NOT to spread it to the edges...a little goes a long way! You might consider masking the area outside the shallow hole on the seat back with painters tape in case you get a little too much epoxy. Clean up any excess immediately (see directions for clean-up on the epoxy package).

step three: making sure that you have seated the shock mount in the correct position, use a piece of painters tape to secure the mount while the epoxy cures.

step four: have a beer and wait 24 hours!

Best of luck and enjoy your chair again!
