Of course can patch tyre unless puncture at sidewall.
If not, change car.

I would recommend to change tire due to safety reasons. You never know when you need them 🤠

According to all tyre manufacturers , punctures at tread area by a foreign object of diameter 6 mm and smaller can be repaired by plug patching .

Having said that, tyre manufacturers recommend only inner/inside plug patching which works as a 'guarantee' against repair-related air leaks.

Real life experience suggests outer/external plug patching works as good until tread wear indicator level close to 100% of the times only with the marginal risk of excessive air leaks after 2-3 days of patching OR very slow air leak (say, 1-2 psi per month) over the remaining life of tread.

Hence, by now your inside or outside plug patching is fine doing its intended job.
