I’ve had to use the line, ‘Is this the best you can do?’ With more than one shop where friends have asked me to tag along to a body shop to pick up their cars. They try to do as little as possible at first. Not everyone has body work experience and knows what is possible and they try to pull one over on you with shiny paint.
Get it measured independently, find out what the spec is (2mm?), then go back and ask them why is doesn’t meet the spec if it doesn’t. If they try to brush you off, start corresponding via email. Also ask why the panel gaps are not right. Cc your insurance on all email communication.

The truck didn't look that bad when I picked it up. I was also young and naive regarding the body shop world. The 'lifetime repair guarantee' eased a lot of the tension until I tried to use it...
I've tried that as well. I went to an insurance heavy body shop (ABC Nissan in PHX) and they refused to even touch the truck as a self pay for a measurement, but agreed the fitment issue is definitely wrong.
