Just for general information and to get back on track a little, with regards to notching the studs for the 2" pipe:
If you did the job neat and accurate, how much should remain of the 2x4 after you notch it to clear a fitting like the elbows in the picture? 4" lumber is nominally 3.5", what would the OD of a 2" fitting be?
OD of 2-inch SCH 40 is 2 3/8 inch. The OD of the socket on the fittings will be 2-5/8 inch. Just saw the pics. From what I can see the OP needs to take the appropriate corrective actions or give his tools to someone that knows how to use them; those walls are at 90 degrees - unless some very creative carpentry took place one of them is taking a vertical load and will fail. How and to what degree that failure manifests itself is anybody's guess.
In addtion to the use of wye where there should be a sanitee, that looks like a vent (short turn) 90 on a drain line which is a no no.
Sharkbites and compression fittings are not the same thing.
You really need to tear it out, repair the damage to the framing, and start over with input from someone that knows what they're doing.
The truth can sometimes be hard to take.
