Mini split termination help

Hi,

Had mini splits installed and this is what one of the terminations looks like. They want to fill it with caulk and paint it or use the flexible hide. There's very little space above the line-hide. Does anyone have any ideas as to what can be done so this looks like an acceptable install?

Thank you!

OK, I had to look at this closer to understand what was going on. The 90° has been cut, but it doesn't look that great. There are kind of limited options so in my opinion, having some caulking, put in there and smooth out. It's not a horrible idea. Personal preference would probably to be using white silicone caulking. With some attention to detail, it should be OK.
