About the diameter of a 22mm pipe

Can someone please help/advise what we can do next
I wondered if anyone could help. We have just had some panels installed however there is quite a large gap left at the top where the panel joins the roof to be filled. Is this normal? I was under the impression they should really go to the roof with a little silicone?
