If it was me......I'd use Eternabond Roof seal over the TPO roof and onto the metal cap. I'd drill through the Eternabond tape so screws are sealed when attaching the trim. If I was still worried, I'd put another piece of Eternabond over the metal trim.
When I rebuilt my trailer, I applied high dollar elastomeric sealant between the siding and top of the roof frame, between the roof and the roof frame, between the metal trim and the roof material. I still had a couple of small leaks. I then applied Eternabond tapes and all leaking was a memory. I have my own equipment to do a pressurized leak test and have done a few in the first few years. All of the tests showed no leaking wherever Eternabond was used.
