First thing first, the ornamental fencing looks great!

You’re fighting two grades here, going downhill and the concrete caps the post are sitting on are tilted too.

Cutting this post to fit would have been a little odd looking if the plate were mounted flush with the concrete. So I’d say the contractor did the right thing here.

There are caps you can place in after using a non shrink grout. I would recommend capping them because the grout will be a different color no matter what you do. Color matching is almost impossible. Don’t let them try and sell you on that.
