I thought 4000 and 4200 are close enough.
It may be better to seal the gaps using 4000. But no matter 4000 or 4200, the entire tube (even 3 oz tube is overkill for this) has a shelf life of only 24 hours once the seal is ripped.
I would get a roll of butyl tape for now

I can’t exactly see what your picture is supposed to be showing. I know you’re trying to show a detail, but a picture from further away would be helpful to put things into perspective.
But, as a general rule, I don’t patch in different sealants unless I’m making a temporary patch. I also don’t use something like 4200 for temporary fix unless it’s all I have. 4200 or 4000 uv should be used when making permanent repairs/rebedding of deck hardware.
Butyl tape actually can make a temporary patch at times, you can form it to a shape and press it into and over small gaps to get you through the winter.
