Badly fitted toilet? Need advice please

That's a 'low-level' toilet? Ie, one where the pan and cistern are joined by an L-shaped flush pipe?
Is the pan sitting further forwards than the old one?0 -

Lazy incompetent bodge job.
And they have probably charged the housing association £500 plus.
Report it with those photos and a short concise email.

Yes, that's a 'low level' setup.
These pans were commonly bedded down on a dollop of mortar which set underneath and kept the pan steady. It looks as tho' the old set lump of mortar has not been removed. No surprise that the new pan is struggling to sit properly.
As you can see, the exit height from the pan is lower than the current receiving end of the soil pipe, so these need to be matched. If the pan can be moved back a couple of inches, and the soil pipe end cut off to suit, then very possibly the correct adaptor would join the two successfully.That current job is not only utterly incompetent, but indicates, imo, complete contempt towards the tenant.
It's a bludy disgrace, and these inconsiderate 'plumbers' should not be allowed back into your home.
Shocking.
