Even the holes where the knobs sit have tiny scratches on it (switched to CTS pots) and are at different heights.
I have to talk to him and get this off my chest.
The bridge pickup has faulty wiring installed (breaks up sometimes and the volume is lower, but maybe that's from the height of the pickup being bad because of the new bracket)
All the other things I need done. I was thinking about relying on his warranty and not having to pay a new guy to do this. But yes...risky...
I have hopes that a good talk with him will make things go smoothly and then, most likely, I'll never go there again. I was taking my telecaster there for years now and never had any problem, but a tele is much simpler to work with imo. Nowadays he has tons of work and is slacking because of that.

Found out my last 4 strings (Wounded ones) have significant less output than the first 2 strings.
I can't adjust the height of the floating pickup. Would adjusting the pole pieces inside the pickup fix the issue?

It may not be completely straight up, but a little bit of lean that way actually puts the downward pressure more perpendicular to the top. I think the bridge has been installed backwards by someone at some time. But as Pingu said, reverse the saddle, so that it stays oriented as it is now. Or maybe not, I can't see the top of the saddle. If it's a compensated saddle, it makes more of a difference. If it's a straight saddle, all that matters is matching the string diameters.

So you will need to change the saddle when you rotate the base. It fits either way.
I know nothing about Magic Touch mini humbuckers. But from photos, I see no polepieces, so I don't see a way to adjust them, nor even if they exist. They might use rails instead of individual polepieces.

,009 strings on an archtop isn't likely to sound good, and .010 strings are much lighter than I can stand, but I'm not you. I think you've already been given about all the advice we can think of, so good luck in your journey.
