If you pay attention when the shock spring is removed you can see the spring position on the shock suport is 4cm offset from where the mechanic mounted it back. If you mount it wrong, like in this example, you will have wrong ride height. Don't do what this mechanic did. Also, don't use WD40 or any grease on rubber, correct lube for rubber is silicone spay or paste.
