Tony what is the yellow stuff inside the connector. Isn't that sealing the hole? Looks like they could have used a smaller connector. Use some duct seal.

Looks like an SER connector which is more rounded than an SEU connector. Or as Dennis said it's just the wrong size.

Sorry for the delay - had an unexpected item come up in office. The yellow stuff is the hole - that is the wall surface visible

Too much sheating removed, should have a bushing.

I think the connector is likely listed for that size cable, a smaller one could have been used but not necessarily a code requirement to do so.
A plastic bushing could have been used but is not required for cables
