So, since we know there was no global flood, the idea of a regional deluge that could cover mountains is preposterous.
And if the Sumerians lived in the area the “ark” ended up, it’s unlikely that they would get the name of the builder wrong, only for it to be written down millennia later by a tribe that likely originated far away.
Let’s not forget, either, that it’s a story, with absolutely no supporting evidence (like most stories from the bible and koran.
There may be a regional-universal flood without the need to cover all the large mountains. A regional flood does not mean that this has to flood only that area, it depends on which "regional" flood is located, it may actually be global.
The Sumerians did not settle on top of where the ark was but near. This civilization was the first to be formed after the flood, in Mesopotamia.
