Direct vent natural gas fireplace vent - exterior wall

Hello. Please see the image. Should the vent be flush with the exterior wall? Seems like way too sealant dependent…

Thank you

Amateur hour, very sloppy, possible future leak in the awaiting.

IT should be stood off the sheathing with a 3/4 thick block with a j channel wrapped around it. And of course, a cap flashing on top of the block under the J channel.

Thank you Scott
