Shattered mozzarella curds never come back together.  Occasionally you are able to recover some of it, but it doesn't produce quality mozzarella and you lose a lot of the curd when that happens.

When cheese curds shater the only way to bring them back together is either straining through very fine musslin or reheating and kneading for hours and you will have a very tough cheese. You only do that as a last resort to save the cheese when all else has failed.
