Trunk to trunk-lid gap, rain water leakage from welds?

I've been trying to tackle my water pooling in the trunk even AFTER getting new taillight gaskets. I think my car may have been in a rear end wreck that wasn't reported based on the finding below. Would appreciate any help from others to compare what your trunk looks like.

First 2 pictures are from INSIDE the trunk looking up, the two corners closest to the rear wind shield (3rd picture for reference not my car) I see a big gap where light is coming through on both sides. I'm assuming this shouldn't be happening and there should be a gap right? As I'm spraying water from the outside to see where the water is leaking in I see some smalls drops but not much even with this gap. Is this normal?

Then I look at the rear skirt to the floor pan weld (4th and 5th pic) in the spare tire area and I see water pool from the weld area on BOTH the left side and right side of the spare tire. What is that beige stuff anyway? also should it be beige or does that indicate that its a body repair

@Opie maybe you're more familiar with body work
