How to Create Most Popular Posts in Right Hand Sidebar: GeneratePress Info Theme

I am using premium info theme of GeneratePress, there is MOST POPULAR container on right side in homepage, but it does not show the original Popular posts, it shows the recent posts there only.
I use Yet Another Related Posts Plugin which works perfect, but it shows related posts only under each post, if I can not show the most popular posts in that right sidebar then I rather show that related posts there, at least users would see random posts there, by default it says popular posts but actually shows the recent posts only.

I hope you you understand what I am trying to achieve, appreciate your support, input.

Cheers!
