A point of clarification since you're new to this: You absolutely want to REMOVE THE VALVE CORE before you attempt to add sealant, and add sealant only through the valve stem without the core. It's basically impossible to add sealant THROUGH the valve core, it's too thick. A valve core remover cost a dollar or thereabouts. You might even have one on your valve cap if they're fancy.
It should seal that hole no problem. In the field, or at home, if you're dealing with a puncture, position the tire so that any liquid sealant has ample opportunity to get to it, and even 'hang out' there for a minute.
