Looking at the new pictures I like your big square patch. But I would worry that it can sag where the joint is.
At the minimum I would probably get a piece of 2x4 or 2x6 about 3 inches long. Cut, sand and mold one end so that it slides tightly inside the aluminum tube. leaving about 1/2 inch sticking out to hold the roof joint level. Then drive a screw or two through the side of the aluminum rafter and into the wood to hold it in place.
After it's level again you can add your Plywood piece to reinforce it all.
