Thank you for this video! We recently has a torrential downpour where the section of our roof has a valley and the rainwater was coming out in gushes, like a tidal wave. We thought it could be a load of leaves even though we have leaf guards on. We had an expert come to check it out as not doing a check could result in a lot more damage over the years. He told us the leaf guard was doing it’s job but due to the way the roof was done it could cause water overflow, like you mentioned happened to you. He mentioned a gutter guard that would try and stop the water from rushing off the roof like it was doing. He said he could do it but it would cost at least $100 more as he did not have the piece on him or we could buy and install it ourselves. We chose to do it ourselves as we put in the leaf guard. He was honest, he could have made more money. Rare find to have someone that honest. I forgot the name of the piece he told me so I went looking and found your video, so thank you for posting this! As for those who are saying it will have to be cleaned due to leaf build up, I would rather blow the leaves off as the leaves are not IN the gutter but on top of it, than do nothing and pay much more later on due to water overflow not being taken care of.
You’re lucky that this is the only area on your home where you have this problem with overflowing gutters because of the gutter guards you are using. Gutter guards are infamous for insufficient drainage during heavy downpours which cause your overflowing gutter problem. Your solution is a good one as long as that piece of sheet metal doesn’t cause leaves, sticks, debris etc. to collect on the gutter guard in which case your gutters will overflow again.

Wasn't the gutter cover the real culprit of your issue?
That was definitely part of it as well
