Default professionally installed aftermarket cab lights installed wrong

had a set of cab lights put on my 2006 ram 1500 yesterday, done by a professional truck accessory shop because i didnt want to take a chance on messing it up, they asked how i wanted them mounted and i told them just like original equipment. it was kinda late so i wasnt sure i could make it back before they close, so i paid for it in full, and they said they would lock it up for pickup after they close. well they called me and i was able to pick it up before they closed. when i get there the lights are like 6 inches back from the windshied and the 3 center lights are like 5" apart center to center. i was so pissed i thought my head was gonna explode. i asked them what they used for directions and they said there werent any in the package. needless to say i will be calling the owner tomorrow. is there any fix to this or am i screwed on light placement. help?

Dang, that sucks. Yeah I would have to have a conversation with the owner. They should have it fixed, the messed up. If the didn't have directions then the shouldn't have even started. They should have called you before any hole where drilled.
