Roof damage

So I had the satellite for internet installed by a HughesNet contractor April 2025 on my dad's 20-year-old deck flat roof. There's been some heavy rains & I've noticed that the roof is now significantly leaking around the installation site as well as along the outside, which was not an issue before.

How do I go about getting HughesNet to pay for the repairs or replacing of this? I'm in Michigan so the statute is 3 years from the date of damage or from the discovery.

At the time of installation, the contractor also "drilled by mistake" in the roof & claimed he patched it. There's a small amount of bowing in that spots that he "patched". I have a roofing guy coming out today to give me a quote. 

The smaller satellite to the right has minimal leaking but that's not from HughesNet.
