He might have done this to fit the stove to the stovepipe better?? Is the hearth out of level or are all the screws extended equally? Is there an extendable stove pipe section in the connector?
My installer did this too! We noticed at the end, and he claimed that's how it came from the factory. He used fixed length vertical pipe so we were stuck with it.
Same installer did a generally sloppy and not-to-code job everywhere else. We had a different installer basically rebuild everything, including lowering the legs. They couldn't get it all the way, but it came out much better.

In that case I would have removed the screws or at least had them screwed in to the lowest setting.
