Too big a hole?
possibly old, dried out stans fluid? When did you last top up/change the fluid?

Got a puncture on Sunday. Topped up with fresh stans fluid, pumped up, sealed lovely, back riding. I think if you top up every 3 months give or take a little, you should find those little holes will seal. Still impressed with tubeless set up.

It's a plug of rubber. I'm sure there are better explanations

and sometimes the tyre is only fit for 'tubed' use...

Try a standard tube patch on the inside of the tyre and superglue on the outside - but if out and about, I use an anchovy.

You'll be best to use a gel type superglue if gluing a patch on. Something with a little stretch. I patch mine with a cutting from RIB repair material.
