Default How to trim out bath vent on siding (pics)

Greetings. Today I installed a Broan bath vent on the outside wall of
my bathroom. Because my siding is not flat, I had to cut out the
perimeter of the vent as the instructions say. I now have to trim out
the opening. What is the best way? In the second pic you see a window
that has a J- channel or whatever its called at the edges of the
siding. I thought thats what I could use. Any inputs appreciated.

I don't think I would have followed the instructions in this case. That
exterior vent cover would have covered the duct hole nicely. You could have
put backer rod and caulk all around to seal it. I am clueless as to what a
good remedy for this might be. Maybe try a siding supply company for trim
pieces that you can fit in there. Can you extend the vent cover so that it
is at least even with the existing siding?
