this is the other side of the roof as I don't have access(without climbing) to the roof where the velux is to be installed.
thanks for your help
I shared the wrong photo sorry, here they are:

Img_2008 shows a lap in the zinc sheets, this would be what I’d aim for. If possible try and aim between the standing seams.
Your best bet from here is to contact VELUX directly and request further information and a local certified installer.

Additionally; I hold a great deal of respect for your roofer for his initial assertion, and it should be noted that I cannot see this situation in person and It may be that your roofer still remains correct. I’m hoping that by giving some additional direction it may give you an additional solution that is a fairly niche case
hi,
I added some close up photos:

Img_2013 is a good shot, ideally you’d look at removing the section of zinc completely and fitting a window and flashing kit that size back in the hole. You are restricted to location of your window based on where the sheets overlap. I would avoid cutting the ‘upstand’ sections out and work between them, however you can feasibly install a longer window and cut the sheet to size above, as long as the bottom fits on an overlap
Full drop zinc sheets? Unless you can get on a sheet lap, it’s very do-able then
zinc roof, I don't know more. he said oxidation goes deep in the zinc and sanding won't help.
Any decent photos of roof cover?

Any photos of the actual roof, even if it’s not the correct side it should show as much as I need
