Glass in door not sealed?

Hello and help.
We recently had a wooden door made & fitted, the glass came separate and was put in by the joiner. All good… or so we thought. With the recent storm I noticed the wind was blowing the rain underneath the glass and it was coming inside the door. Obviously I was horrified but on closer inspection realised there’s no sealant around the glass. It’s just been placed in the gap with the wooden edges pinned on. It feels very sturdy and secure but does that also need some kind of weather sealing?
I’ve attached a photo to show what I mean.
When looking online all the information I find seems to be about sealing the external frame but I can’t find details on the glass itself
Is there a particular sealant I should get to go around the glass?
Should I remove the glass to ensure inside is fully dry?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

You should ask in “windows and doors”.

How they should be sealed could be a bit complicated, but if you’re seeing dampness inside when it rains then that’s not good. Get the installer back.
