bad place to try to plug or patch a tire ( close to edge).
Toip off the air pressure with the compressor under the front hood and take it back to the place you rented it from
for a replacement. If not , likely to need tire replaced rather than repaired.

white stuff could be sealent, dont know.

Put air in it. Then plug it. Add more air, and return the car.

Tks I got it sorted. I was able to look at the pics I took before I took the car and it was already there.

That white spray could be just someone marking the screw for repair, and they never got around to do it. It's seemingly holding air to some extent, if it is only -6#. I'd just fill it, and return it. I wouldn't drive it around like that other than returning it. I would not be inclined to try to repair it either, as that could just lead to a whole new set of problems.
