  We consider a non trivial solution to the section condition in the context of
$\mathbb{R}^{+}\times E_{3(3)}$ exceptional field theory and show that allowing
fields to depend on the additional stringy coordinates of the extended internal
space permits to describe the monodromies of (p,q) 7-branes in the context of
F-theory. General expressions of non trivial fluxes with associated linear and
quadratic constraints are obtained via a comparison to the embedding tensor of
eight dimensional gauged maximal supergravity with gauged trombone symmetry. We
write an explicit generalised Christoffel symbol for $E_{3(3)}$ EFT and show
that the equations of motion of F-theory, namely the vanishing of a 4
dimensional Ricci tensor with two of its dimensions fibered, can be obtained
from a generalised Ricci tensor and an appropriate type IIB ansatz for the
metric.
