2017 Sierra 371 REBH Exterior slide floor getting wet/damp after a rain

After a rain, I'm seeing that two of my four slide out floors are wet on the exterior. It appears to come out from under the plastic flashing to about 4-5 inches from the flashing/L channel. The slide bottoms have a plastic flashing/L channel on the corners which is tucked in behind the slide walls and there is a piece of trim with silicone caulk to prevent moisture. It appears that the water is wicking in somehow. I have no idea where the water is coming from. It is only doing it on two of the four slides. It's not a leveling issue, they are wet on opposite ends. Has anyone else had or having issues with this? If so, what was done to remedy the situation? Any help will be appreciated!

I personally would get up there asap and silicone seal those edges. It's possible they didn't put sealant under the tack down strips.
