Hi

In 2022 I moved into my house and the garage roof had a leak. That winter 22/23 i had the leaking side repaired. It continued to leak so winter 23/24 i had the others side done (pitched roof) the middle leaks most.
During really heavy prolonged rain it leaks still. I've lifted the flashing and the guys laid the felt different on each side. Is one correct and one possibly causing the leak?

It would help if you added a few pics of the whole roof as well, so we can see whether there are any other issues with the roof.
 
Thanks for reply

I'm not a roofer and not an expert here, but my opinion ... I would say the problem is being caused by the flashing and ridge tiles. I say this because of the volume of water coming through.

I don't know how felt should be done, but looking at the pics, the edges don't appear to be neatly dealt with and I doubt this is helping matters.
