Are you sure its mold and not the white wear layer wearing off the rubber? Where is your camper stored that mold would grow? Its unusual to find mold growing on something exposed to the sun. While I rarely advocate for washing a camper roof, it might be a good time to thoroughly wash and inspect your entire roof.
If that is a chunk of roofing material missing, that is not good. If it is exposed to water, you should likely peel back the rubber and inspect the wood roofing below to make sure it isn't rotting. If it is, repair the roof decking before doing anything else. Liquid Roof is a pretty easy (but somewhat messy) way to patch EPDM roofing material. It is a 2 part liquid that you mix and apply to EPDM roofing. The Liquid Roof is literally painted on with a brush or roller. It adheres to the existing EPDM and dries to a seamless EPDM rubber. Its easy to DIY and does not create any seams. You can even recoat your entire roof for a couple hundred dollars.
If appears as though the Eternabond did not stick properly. I would cut off the loose portions, thoroughly clean the area and attempt to attach new Eternabond again. Remember that Eternabond requires pressure (like a roller) to ensure a good bond to the roof.
