Leaking Around Velux

I have moved into a new house and in the recent storms had a bit of water staining appear around a velux in the loft conversion.

It looks like the tiles don't butt correctly to the velux unit so there is a 'massive' gap the wind can blow water through. It also looks like the connection to the window below is a bit bent and damaged so water flowing off and around the window gets diverted to the gap.

Any suggestions on what I can use to fill the gap? It doesnt look like I can do anything with the tiles as the window just seems to be put in a location where the tiles curve up.

Cheers.

I dont know. I can see through the gap straight onto the felt. It doesnt look like there is any flashing beyond the bent upstands in the photos.
 
Try a few photos showing the whole area, from the photos I'm assuming there is more than one window I maybe wrong but I'm just going with what I can see from the photos.

Looks like the Foam filler has been removed . Also the moss needs clearing out it can cause a dam effect
And if those tiny cut tiles are not stuck in they are either loose or nailed through the flashing.

Looks like one window on top of another using a hacked standard flashing kit rather than the purpose made kit
