Exactly as I suspected, This piece needs to return so it finishes against the house. Aesthetically it looks awkward as it does not have the return with over hang, it just ends at the end of the building. Plus it has an open edge which will cause damage.
To prevent damage you simply need an end cap like the picture posted. To be aesthetically correct it needs to return and die into the wall, with a ridge cap like the rest of the house has installed.
