Hate to say it but your best option is to do that, you need to see how they did it and fix it. A lot of times you have to cut away the sheetrock inside...

Yep, they just screwed into the SIDING under the vinyl I think, it doesnt even poke through the sheathing on the inside, thus why it is pulling away. Luckily it is unfinished attic behind. Unluckily it is very poor access...and right next to a sink vent pipe...
I need to figure out some way to take the tension off it so I can replace the screw. It is just behing held by one screw now.
