To be clear, what was the method of construction? Post frame, red iron, or tube steel?

Studded walls like a house, 2x6 11’ pre cut studs, sheathed walls, home wrap, and metal roof and siding. The sil plates were attached with anchor bolts they set during the concrete pour.

I was thinking about trying to add a flashing but not sure if it is even worth the hassle
you would have to bend the flashing under the sheet (between the sheet and the base angle, and then bend down over the edge of the slab to do it right. That would mean you’d have to unscrew and re attach your sheets. You are not going to want to do all that

you could attach the vertical leg of your flashing on top of the highs of your sheet from the outside, then bend down over the slab edge, then stuff the lows at the top of the flashing with foam closure strips or shoot them with spray foam
