I would say the expanding foam would still be preferred. Just don't go crazy with it. Then before it's fully cured, cut it back flush. Wait for it to dry then caulk to cover/seal.

My actual job is to inspect homes. It is an industry joke that Joe-diy-guy grabs a can of great-stuff expando foam and “fixes” it…leaving a jacked up mess that rats just chew through to get in again. There are better ways of securing entry points.
