If using a wine cork, you're going to have to glue it onto the thumbrest with contact adhesive - thinly and evenly coating both the joining surfaces with adhesive, leaving for a few minutes so the solvent evaporates and then pressing them both together to form the bond.
But first you will have to shape the end of the cork to fit the curve of the thumbrest which is done by filing and papering up smooth so it's a perfect fit with no gaps.
With thin sheet cork from 0.5mm up to around 3mm it's easy as the cork can be bent to fit the curve as you stick it on. But with anything thicker than 3mm, you'll have to shape it to fit.
