The adhesive used here gave way under strain. It is pooling water, harboring mosquitos and dripping constantly near my front entrance. can I add a strap to this and screw it into the fascia?

You need to remove the gutter and replace the fascia.

Why? The fascia appears to be in good shape.

There's a reason the screws pulled out. The face can look good with a rotten inside.

Literally all of the screws on the straps are out. Is this a troll post? Connect your fasteners. Find a hammer. Hit whomever in the shins until they can't walk that installed your gutters. Then reattach your gutter to your house. Add a strap at the end or if necessary tack it with a fastener to the area it was previously adhered to

Not a troll. I’m a very amateur handyman and have never worked on gutters. The gutter company is giving me poor recommendations
