    Question is what's the outcome?

    Is the ball considered in the hole or not. If you repair and mark where it is does it fall in the hole? Do you mark beside the hole and tap in?

    Etc etc

    Yes, ball is not holed
    Remove ball, repair, not possible here (call greenkeeper)
    normally after repair place ball beside hole and tap in

    Why?

    Because the plastic is up to the top?

    It's the definition of 'holed'

    'Holed A ball is “holed” when it is at rest within the circumference of the hole and all of it is below the level of the lip of the hole.'

    Found these:
    Q. A player's ball embeds in the side of a hole. Part of the ball is above the level of the lip of the hole. What is the ruling?

    A. The ball is not holed - see Definition of "Holed." The player may play the ball as it lies or lift the ball under Rule 16-1b, repair the damage under Rule 16-1c and place the ball on the lip of the hole

    Definition of Holed: A ball is holed when it is at rest within the circumference of the hole and any part of it is below the level of the lip of the hole.

    Rule 17-4 states that when you remove the flagstick, the ball must fall into the hole. If a player picks up their ball before it has completely dropped below the level of the lip of the hole they incur a penalty of one stroke, under Rule 18-2, and must place it back on the lip of the hole
