front of coil & furnace not aligned

trying to determine if this is issue or not - see pictures (sorry disregard the drawn blue circle).

In April I had oil low-boy furnace removed and replaced with this gas furnace. as can be seen, they had to rotate the gas furnace 90 degrees compared to the config of the old oil furnace. they didn't change the coil at all, so now the fronts do not align. they also did not add a transition between the furnace cabinet and coil, probably because it would've entailed raising the coil up and then raising up the plenum and ducts etc.

should i be concerned with this setup at all? anecdotally, it cooled pretty well this summer (and we had hottest summer on record here in Boston) and I've never once had the coil freeze on me, even with the AC running 5-6 hours nonstop some days. also anecdotally, the heat has been working pretty well. just want to make sure that neither of these install quirks are going to cause major issues in the future / cause premature failure of this equipment

I always thought they had minimum code requirements in Massachusetts that I would be envious of. I see all the masking and duct seal that was probably required, but the inspection passed with the evaporator like that and the out of range heat rise? Fluctuating Superheat?

transitions are needed between the 2 different dimensions.
that is unacceptable!

If you read the IOM of that furnace a 2 - 4” riser is also needed!
