Maybe pour some of that leveling compound in there.
It has a low enough viscosity that it should go into the gap and it
has pretty good compressive strength.

Or epoxy. Epoxy is thin enough that it will run in and fill a gap
like that.

Epoxy can be of various consistencies. "Thin" epoxy would run in quite a
way, "thick" epoxy not much.


Choose the one like Goldielocks did.


I don't know if it's a matter of "choose" or of "mix".

When I used to use epoxy on a fairly regular basis, I'd buy the
cans of liquid and then various containers of fillers. I'd add
the proper filler based on the specific use.

Just be careful about what you mix your epoxy in:

In deference to Toby Keith, it is hard to beat a red solo cup for
mixing epoxy. They also come in "bathroom" size to mix small batches.
I get popcicle sticks at the dollar store for mixers. You can get
little ones or the regular popcicle size. For bigger jobs, use tongue
depressors.
