Soil pipe vent advice

I moved into a new build about 6 years ago. I’m planning to redo my bathroom so today went up to the loft to do the planning for running the ceiling rain shower arm and inspect the soil vent pipe. I was a bit surprised to find that it appears they didn’t connect the soil pipe to the actual venting roof tile. It’s quite far inside so I haven’t had a chance to go right inside to check yet but will do in the next few days. But the loft doesn’t smell or anything and from what I can briefly see they might have capped the top of the soil pipe instead of actually connecting it. I’ve attached a few pics (sorry it’s pixelated) one shows the pipe going up right next to where it should connect to the roof tile vent but I can clearly see it’s not actually connected. I’ve also attached a pic of how the vent tile looks from outside.

Question is, by the looks of it, the soil pipe doesn’t look like it 100% lines up to the vent. Is there a flexible connection that can be clamped onto this to create airtight connection ?

Thanks
