Hello, I am new here. I am basically joining in search of information for my small studio project here in Japan.
I would like to ask your opinion / advice on the following.
I am putting roofing on my little studio that I am building. This is all DIY and I am just a weekend warrior.

The studio will have a wood fired oven, and so I need to run a double walled chimney through the roof. s
I got this type of flashing:
My roofing is stone coated steel sheets. I think that is the tricky part.
It's a steel roof but acts more like a shingle roof with the grainy top surface.
Here is my situation, showing the chimney hole and its position in relation to the roofing sheets.

My question is: with this kind of roof shall I adhere to the normal approach of keeping the bottom of the flashing on top of the roofing, and the top half of the flashing under the roofing? Or should I try to put the entire flashing under the roofing and just caulk around the hole? Has anyone here experience with this type of roofing, any advice would be very helpful and help avoid another too long analysis paralysis situation.
Cheers,
Simon
