Need help, are prongs poorly set and is the diamond tilted?

So when I picked up my finished ring, I immediately thought the ring looked asymmetrical. I told them so, but I couldn’t pinpoint why, but from top-down it looked like the prongs on one side were uneven and sticking out further than the other. I also thought the diamond was tilted by 1-2 degrees and that maybe this caused the asymmetry but this one could be completely off. The bench jeweler did not see any asymmetry and I feel like I was gaslit for 2-3hrs. Anyway they tried to “adjust the finishing” and said it was perfect after.

I took the ring home and realized their “fix” had mad the stone loose. It was rattling in the cage. I took it back the day after, they spent 10mins and “fixed it”. But now the prongs look all sorts of ****ed up, they look way worse, are floating, massive gaps. See pics below. Only 2 of the prongs make what I would think is perfect contact with the stone, hugging it near the girdle and over.

Can I get some validation that these are not normal/this is bad before I send a frustrated email. I have had so many issues with the custom making of this I almost don’t want to go back, but they will try to fix it for free at least?
