I would have great hesitation leaving that joint as is.
It is extremely hard to insert full depth into a socket and have bad alignment like that; hence: it is not a full depth insertion and not to proper assembly standards (which assure best results). We always do full head test no matter what, so if it tests under ten ft. of head and you can whack it with a 2x4, then keep it.
Plastic pipe also needs to be supported at proper intervals with non metallic, rigid methods.
Looks like a tee fitting on its back, which is NEVER allowed.
That single nail protector plate is wholly inadequate as well.
Don' t forget to use vibration isolators in the framing for the water piping.

I am not a gambler but I would wager $20 that pipe will leak within 5 years.
