Umm, not to sure how much clearer you want the answer.

The issue you have and you do not know the answer for is Does the existing disbond have glue on either of the surfaces i.e the top or the bridge

If old glue is present on either surface then your reglue job will fail if any tension is applied, as you cannot glue to glue (unless its hide glue and its not hide glue on your guitar) you can only glue wood to wood, some people will take your money and put glue in regardless, some people will do it themselves regardless, as that is the answer they wish to hear.

If no glue is present between the bridge and the top as the manufacturer missed that specific area then yes fresh glue will hold.

If you take your guitar in to a repair shop wanting warranty work done and they identify you have glued it yourself and should not have you will not be covered and the cost will be borne by you, approximatley 120-200 dollar range provided some of the top has also not torn out due to the job not being done correctly
