Small hole in new bestway pool

I just got a new 16’ bestway pool to replace my 6 year old Coleman. I filled it up yesterday and noticed a small pool of water on the ground next to it. I did some investigating and found a small pinhole in it that is spurting out a tiny stream of water. I tried using one of the underwater patches on the outside of the pool to stop it but it didn’t help.

What is the best way to patch the hole? I would prefer to do it while it’s still full. I would also prefer to patch it from the outside if that is possible (the water is 64° so I’d love to avoid getting in if possible!).

I attached 2 photos of the leak so you can see where it is and how small it is.

Patch the hole from the inside with at least two overlapping patches. Use a small size patch and then glue a larger patch over the smaller patch.
