Electric panel not flush with drywall as requested

Got a panel upgrade mostly because our inspector recommended the panel being flush against the drywall. Reached out to a reputable electrician and the person who came to give an estimate said that they can make it flush with drywall and it would be a longer panel. He indicated that they would need to cut drywall and elongate it inferiorly.

The new panel isn’t flush with drywall and they cut it superiorly. Can see the white outline of the old panel which is where I assume the top of the new panel should have been.

Also, the cover doesn’t fit so they have to come back with a new cover.

Don’t know much but seems like this is not what I requested? Is this easily fixable?

3rd picture is old panel.

EDIT: Looked up the installers. They are Electrical Apprentice's but their licenses expired in in 2025 and 2021.
