Below are the pictures, I used some shop towels to indicate where the leak starts.
In the 2nd picture, water is also coming in from the weatherstrip. Left arrow points to where there a big bead of water running down the inside of the trunk

3M Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive. It's a little goopy though.
Silicone or other RTV would work too. Just need to get in there with finger and make sure it gets into whatever seam you're trying to tidy up.
I wouldn't use a 2-part epoxy or other structural adhesive. Prefer something that can flex and not break/crack-up over time to keep a long lasting seal.
If you want to test and make sure your repair works first with something that's easily reversible, start off with some butyl rubber tape (same stuff that's used on door vapor barrier sheets). I don't recommend it long term for this application cause it's sticky and without a cover layer it will get dirty and dry up fast. It can be a bit messy to work, but cleans up easily with isopropyl alcohol. Duct tape might even work
