Fill most of it with a ball of foil then cover the opening with Plumbers Epoxy Putty.
It's a stick of 2 part epoxy putty that you just cut off a piece the size you need then knead it together until it becomes a solid color.
It can be smoothed with water before it cures.
Different stores will carry different brands and some will carry different cure times.
These can be found at most hardware stores.

Fill most of the void up with aluminum foil or something else. That way you won't have to use as much material. Then I'd use Aves Epoxy putty or magic sculpt. After you mix it you can shape it with water and a putty knife. It will dry hard and a rock and can be sanded when your done.
JB weld is great as it self levels for the most part but I actually like plumbers putty better. I think it’s more durable and sands to a better finish. But I use both.

aves comes in a bunch of colors. you can paint over it when its dry. I wouldnt introduce anything into it to color it. It will screw up the cure time or. not cure at allYou can sand it, drill whatever. Thats my go to putty for tons of stuff
I think you can tint Apoxie Sculpt with certain types of paint. Call Aves tech support. Every time I have called they have answered the phone promptly and thoroughly answered every question I have had.
The trick will be getting the exact right mix to match the surrounding area. You may have to paint anyway.
Aves is my go-to for just about anything.
Water works for smoothing and shaping it but isopropyl alcohol works much better. It works just like the solvent Aves sells with the putty.
