jesus christ really this is the type of crap people do and call them selves plumbers. looks like someones first day in life put that together i would plaster the name of the person and company all over the web so everyone can see what they will get if they go with this company
The inspector saw the ground rough & top out . The flange more than likely was installed during the trim out and the inspector did not see it. Have the plumber install a new flange with the bottom of the flange (the portion that sets on the finish floor) setting alittle over 1/4'' above the highest point of the sub-floor. After thin-setting sub-floor tile should slide snug under flange.
That doesn't look like a new install. if the pipe below is crooked the flange is going to be the same.
If you want to straighten it out you're going to have to go deep to straighten out the pipe.
set the toilet with out the wax if it doesn't touch the flange it should be just fine. Wax seal doesn't care if the flange is a little off, as long as the one side is not to high and the underside of the bowl does not rest on it.
Shim the bottom so there is no wobble. lift it. install a wax ring and bolt it down.
P.S. file off the burs and the pieces of knock out cap left behind

that also,,what i meant is the customers,
yes the flange is crooked,,
is it right ? no
should it be level ? yes
will it work,? Yes
my opinion on the plumber who did it
run and gun plumber,,not paying attention to details.
a slap it in,,plumber
or most likely,,his helper
how i would deal with that...confront the plumber
hey bro,,,see that ****? would you want that crooked ass **** in your house?
I want it fixed, if you need to call the job superintendent, do it
but,,,do not set that terlet till that flange is level
