Default Can I Plug This Puncture?

Howdy,

I got a flat in my passenger front tire which i repaired with fix-a-flat. When I got home i inspected the tire and found this hole, which I'm assuming is the cause of the flat.

The tire is holding up with the fix-a-flat repair but I would like to plug it for a more secure fix. What product can I use to do this? Will the sealant in the tire cause any issues when plugging the hole?

Thanks

Take the wheel and tire to a shop that can dismount the tire and patch and plug it from the inside.

I thought I read on the Porsche owners manual that:
Tires should not be repaired.

This hole looks too big to plug In any case.
and its the front too(?)

be careful
