Not sure how the rubber material from the roof attaches to it?

The messy spray-job (Flex Seal Spray) is what I did earlier today while it was still wet and raining lightly, trying to see if it makes a difference.
Will redo it on a sunny day if it makes a difference,
and then it will dry better and I can take my time.

Flex Seal Spray is NOT an approved TPO seam sealant. Using it will probably void your Alpha Systems warranty on the TPO membrane. I've used Flex Seal on a number of "around the house seal jobs" like the rain gutters, the vinyl siding gaps, surface cracks in the concrete foundation. In every case, the Flex Seal either didn't stop the leak or fell away/didn't adhere to the siding or concrete. I'd call it an inferior product for TPO roofing and I wouldn't use it on my trailer, even in an emergency... YMMV.

If I were you, I'd clean the Flex Seal off the TPO, use either DICOR sealant or Alpha Systems sealant which are specifically formulated to adhere to and seal the TPO material.
