I'm hoping I can get some opinion of whether this pipe/fitting looks correct. After gluing the joint I noticed it seemed like the end of the pipe is out from the hub bottom (like moving towards the middle of the fitting). I put an arrow where I think it seems like it sticks out too much. I looked at other fittings I've glued and it doesn't seem this pronounced. I know a coupler with its 360 hub wouldn't look like this, but is this just how sanitary tees look? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Is this pipe glued correctly?

Looks ok to me. If it's all the way in to the shoulder you are good to go.

The larger the diameter of the pipe, the more it will try to creep the pipe out of the socket prior to things solidifying sufficiently to lock it in place. The socket is tapered, so the pipe will try to back itself out of the socket. The thing won't stay until the solvent evaporates enough to lock things in place. That may take longer than you think, especially if you were liberal with the cement.
If it is still in most of the way, it should work. If you precut the pipe, your distances and lengths may be now off, though.
