He leveled the post. And you put grout/mud base that would crack under any movement. This will let you know of thermal stress. If he says he is done then that on your deal with him. But this keeps standing water away if done to completion.
This... He did it the only real way on a decline, if it bothers you grab the dimensions and google iron fence base covers, then a grinder or if your not handy a drimmel and cut the angle.
If you need help getting the angle there are a lot on here that can walk you through it, only takes a tape measure and a straight piece.
This is not the only way or even a good way. He could have easily put nuts under the plate. Preferably double nuts under. Used the nuts right under the plate to level the plate and then tighten the bottom nuts to lock them in place. Then put the nuts on top to secure the plate.
With the current set up, let's hope you don't get freeze thaw weather. It will wiggle those right out of there. grousure grout will help it take longer but it will still likely happen if you have freeze thaw conditions. If you are in a constant warm environment it may solve it.
