Leaking tire. Fixable?

Leaking tire. Fixable?
So I just got my tires about a month ago and last week I ran over a nail that's causing it to leak slowly. I took it to a couple places to have it fixed but they all said they didn't want to do it because the nail is too close to the sidewall. I'll post pictures in a bit so you guys have a better idea. Don't really want to shell out another 200 for a new tire right now.

I bought the plug repair kit at walmart. I plan on doing it myself since the shops won't do it. I guess I'm just asking if you guys think its safe to drive with a fix this close to the sidewall. I dont want the tire to pop or anything on the freeway haha.

whats the difference between the plug and the patch? I'm only familiar with plug.

DO NOT use slime, even just a little.
it will throw your wheel off balanced, even if you try to rebalance it. Not to mention it clogs your tire valve, messes with tire pressure sensors, all types of problems.
+1 on tire patch,...but you'll need to find a tire place that's willing to patch a puncture that's close to the sidewall.
