Hello, I have a garden tap fitted with a wallplate that is connected to the kitchen on the inside wall.
Currently having a kitchen re-done, and this copper pipe has been pushed out slightly, leaving a gap between plate and wall.
The brick wall is rendered.

This is the wallplate+tube: https://www.toolstation.com/made4trade-wallplate-tube/p10508

I tried tightening the screwn but it doesn't move, presumably because the copper pipe on the inside will need to be shortened.
I want to avoid shortening the pipe as the plastering work is already done.

How do I seal this gap to avoid water ingress?
Silicone sealant? Masonry filler?

Unscrew the fixings and tap the plug back in, re tighten.
 
Bit of silicon though the hole should have been drilled with a slight incline to avoid any rain ingress.
If it’s loose pop a washer behind each screw to pack it.
