In my bathroom remodel I am converting tub to shower. I cut a new drain hole in the subfloor and removed an adjacent section of subfloor to get access to the plumbing. Hired licensed plumber to convert the 1.5" tub drain, p-trap and vent with 2" and relocate the drain to the center of the shower. I am installing Kerri shower so I had him rough in the drain up to the trap and leave the riser unglued so that I can cut it to length and attach the kerdi drain when I am ready. After he was done I replaced the section of subfloor and added 1/2 inch of plywood subfloor to existing 3/4" OSB to stiffen the floor. When I dry fitted section of 2" abs to start planning the drain install I noticed that the drain rough in is off center substantially - see picture. There is a little play in the pipes that will result in the top end of the riser not being co-planar to the floor. Will abs cement still bond and seal if I fudge the pipes in their fittings at each end to correct for the alignment problem?
It is frustrating that a licensed plumber can't do a more careful job than that.
Is it normal to not be able to center a drain rough in with better accuracy? Are my expectations out of line?
