How can I prevent water leakage through the gap in my colorbond during heavy rain?

Hey everyone! Does anyone know how I can seal up this opening in the colorbond? Whenever it rains heavily, water seeps in through the gap and ends up inside the house.
I would suggest backing it out, applying sealant underneath the head, and screwing it back in. Use a wrench to be careful.
Check if there’s Tyvek behind it and make sure it’s properly sealed off.
They forgot to caulk it before installation.
Seal with silicone.
If you’re counting on the siding to keep water out, it’s a more serious issue because there’s no weather barrier behind it like housewrap or flashing.
