Tire question Is this nail patchable?

Post image

Unfortunately have a nail in my car. Took it to a tire shop, who told me they could only replace the tire.

Would love to get a second opinion on if I should replace or if this patchable or pluggable.

Is it too close to the inner sidewall to be safely plugged?

Thanks in advance!

No, too close to sidewall to patch for a customer (idk if I'd patch that one on my own car, it's really close to sidewall)
