Zero energy states in the Dirac spectrum with U(1) symmetric massive vortices of various underlying insulating orders in strained graphene are constructed in the presence of the magnetic field. An easy-plane vortex of antiferromagnet and quantum spin Hall orders host two zero energy states, however, with two different length scales. Such inequivalent zero modes can lead to oscillatory charge and magnetization, and their usual quantizations get restored only far from the vortex core. Otherwise, these zero modes can be delocalized from each other by tuning the mutual strength of two fields. One can, therefore, effectively bind a single zero mode in the vortex core. A possible experimental setup to capture signature of this theory in real graphene as well as in optical honeycomb lattices is mentioned. Generalization of this scenario with underlying topological defects of Kekule superconductors can localize a single Majorana mode in the vicinity of the defect core.
