This coral was doing great he had little green sprouts and glowed when the lights were blue , then my husband bought more live rock and started putting it in the tank , got frustrated and broke him off his platform on accident. Hubs glued him back on but since then he hasn’t came out and I am hoping he’s ok.

What are your thoughts?

Looks like it to me, but best to wait for someone with more experience. Seeing white is never a good thing.

Can you explain the gluing process he did?

Not looking so good there. Flesh as come off the tips and I think that's glue at the base. You may be able to snip the tops off but it almost looks like the flesh is coming off the back side too it's hard to tell in your picture.
 
He took coral glue and put glue on the bottom where I circled on the photo, stuck it back on the platform then glued the platform on a rock.

Super glue?
If yes, it hearts up quick as it's processing. It needs immediate dip in water to cool and that will also speed the process of curing the glue.
The heat will kill flesh of coral.
