Thank you everyone for your advise. I think I am going to first contact the store and see if I can get another installer. If that doesn't work I will try to squeeze in a drain and high loop in the 2.5" filler/spacer cabinet.
I have to question that last statement. Real carpenters do not use shelving brackets to brace their cabinetry. And the wiring for the range looks like it was stapled tightly against the floor and then bent too sharply back over the top. And what is the gauge of that range wiring? It looks too small in those photos.I did all the carpentry and electrical work. But i had a professional plumber put the hot water line in. I don't do plumbing. Everything I touch leaks. But I can do the rest.
There is room for a little drain hose behind the stove. I cut a grove in the floor that holds the hose and it just runs to the next cabinet.
Heat would be an issue for a drain hose. I don't know just how warm any part at the back of the stove is. The hose would interfere with pushing the stove flush to the wall.

The box store installer probably gets a flat rate to install a dishwasher. If thats the case he probably doesn't want to do your install because it would take longer and he wouldn;t get paid any more money.
Call the plumber back who installed your water line........why isn't he the one installing the dishwasher anyway? Did the plumber quote you a price to install and you didn't like it?
I've installed plenty of dishwashers and the drain hose ran behind the range. Theres no problem wit it. Some people like to make easy jobs complicated. This is 1st yr stuff for a real plumber.
run the damn hose thru the floor, up thru the sink base, and make your loop there. Its PUMPED out. Or the same with the loop in the filler.
By the way, brackets are great items and far stronger than some beaten in nails that split the wood.
Brackets are hack, so is our friend ballvalve.
This is awkward, but...
