Is this right, is this wrong? looks weird to me.

This is new construction and I provided a moentrol shower valve/diverter combo unit (Moen 3330). The handshower would be mounted with a drop ell on the left side of the shower (blue pipe in photos). This is a 30" wide x 60" long shower unit.
This is a guest cottage on my property and I have been here the entire time the plumbers are working and made it abundantly clear I am available for all questions. I was not consulted on these location decisions.

This is what I found after they left for the day. ....see photos
The side shower panel where the valve is located measures 24" wide.
The back panel with the curved corner shelving section is approx 6" deep at the corners.
The shower valve is currently mounted 8 inches in from the back on the 24" side panel.
The drain in the shower pan is located per factory 12" inches in from the curb and another 12 inches to the back wall.
The drop ell is only about 2 1/2" diameter and the handshower bracket is less than 2".

The drain, shower valve and shower head line up 'roughly' but look wrong to me, like the valve and shower head should be centered on the side panel, but I don't know what is normal for this shower install.
