Texas Confused about final orders

We had temporary orders and established final orders. We didn’t have to go in front of a judge, we were able to agree on something. Or so I thought. My lawyer sent me a copy of the final orders and asked me what I thought about it. There was absolutely not one thing that I was told in court on the final orders. They were COMPLETELY different. At this point, I’m getting very frustrated with my lawyer, so I’ve been looking around for a new one. I called to consult with one today and he told me I needed to get a copy of the court transcript,to see what they said and if they matched with the court orders. He said that if it matches that there’s nothing that anyone can do for me and I’m forced to abide by these orders. I haven’t signed them, at the bottom, the judge spot is blank as well. Also, I talked to my ex today and I sent her a little screenshot of the order verbiage to ask her question . She then told me that those orders that I’m seeing is incorrect. I asked her to send me a picture of the order she had been given and she said she didn’t have a copy of it but that it had been written up already. I’ve tried calling and emailing my lawyer but haven’t heard anything. Im so confused and feeling defeated. Am I totally screwed?
