In this case you don't need to use SEO. And as you have discovered, SEO's do not show in plan.
If you select one face of the highest roof, then CMD-Click (or CTRL-Click on PC) on the end edge of the lower roof it will trim the lower roof edge to where the two meet. See the image below.
You will also need to add some nodes to the higher roof plane to create the valley. Stretch the mid point of the valley in, select the low roof and use the same method to form the valley line on the higher roof.
Hope this makes sense.
