How to connect the roof over the porch with the main roof at the intersection?

I created a new porch in front of the front door. There should be a roof over it. I made rafters and scaffolding and now close the roof of the porch.

Now I have the following problem. The porch is at right angles to the direction of the ridge of the whole house. The porch roof should be below the eaves of the house roof. However, I am already reaching (crossing) the house roof gutter with the porch roof flashing at the height!

What/how can I do? Connect the roofs at the intersection?

Why don't you just admit to yourself that you miscalculated the height of the canopy ridge instead of coming up with crazy fabrications?

I think dismantling and rebuilding with a flatter slope is the most economical solution.

The most economical solution is to use shingles. After shingling, I have 2 cm left to the gutter (at the intersection) and that should be quite enough. However, I didn't want to choose the shingle option for design reasons. Maybe there are completely different solutions? By the way, it only turned out so close because the ring anchor had to be made 10 cm higher than planned, and an extra row of stones was placed over the window.

Regarding the house drain, is there only one visible drain on the corner of the house or another one on another corner? If so, gutter failure won't be a problem and you won't have masses of water on the porch roof.

Although annoying, wouldn't it be better to remove the small roof truss, remove one/half a row of aerated concrete, and reinstall the roof truss?
