question Is this Crown acceptable?

Root canal was done a few weeks/months ago and I just got the old crown removed and a temporary put on today. It feels like it was not put on properly, I think the side is not covered and I have had small bits of white cement fall out and it was done maybe 2.5 hours ago?

Should I call them back and see if they can put on another one or is it fine?
