It does sound like the drain hose is loose from whichever corner is leaking. On the front corners, with the a-pillar cover removed, also remove the grab handle (2 t20 screws under flip covers), remove the visor and catch (3 screws on visor base and 2 under flaps on catch) and the felt flocked gasket around the inside opening of the sunroof (easily pulls off/slips on) or metal trim ring if fitted (lots of T10 torx from the top, need to pull the glass for some). There is also 1 more screw under the center cluster with the map lights etc. You should now be able to easily pull down the front corner of the headliner (lips over the inner door seal slightly). The white plastic corner piece has a drain coming off of it, and you should be able to see with a flashlight into the hole where the tube slipped back into. I can usually gently pull it back onto the drain with slim needle nose pliers (it actually has pull tabs, you'll see it on the bottom of the hose). And that should do it!

This can be done at all 4 corners if needed, but I would test each corner individually with pouring water directly into the sunroof drain channel as you already did.

And with the carpet, it has molded foam molded to it, and pretty thick. It acts like a sponge. You'll think you have it dry, but its saturated underneath. A word of advise with the wet carpet would be to remove the door sill and unbolt and move back the whole seat (leave it plugged in to avoid airbag light) and lift up the carpet from the split foreward to see just how wet it is and you can continue drying from there. Take note of the rear floor ac vent coming through the rear of the front section of carpet when lifting. Feel free to message me with any further questions.
