I had bent shock and shop changed both sides. Now one sides bump stop looks weird. Should I worry? Should I go back to shop?

No idea I’m afraid, but tyres look low on tread - perhaps just the photo?

Your tyre is in a dangerous condition, note the thin grey line on the inside edge of the tread, that means no rubber! Also you need your tracking adjusted. Post a clearer pic of the bump stop if you can.
In the meantime refer to this diag

The bump stop looks the right way round from the OEM chart mcbutler posted.
In the photo the strut looks offset from the bump stop but I think its because the rubber damper cover is off centre and has moved to the left in the photo - hence things don't look lined up. The top of that cover should slide onto the bump stop and sit in the first groove. Push the cover into place and everything should look inline
Next stop tyres if I were you

Yeap, tyres are pretty bad. Need to install new tyres next week.
Camber was way off because of bent strut and tyre has weared because of that. Guy who delivered car to me lied that he didnt noticed anything in 300km trip . Guess he speeded giant pothole and was afraid of hes boss or something.
Tyres are from 2011, so I think they are junk anyway.
Ps: Sorry my broken english, it aint my native language.

Junk + a bit.
6 years is maximum age (most) manufacturers recommend, no matter how good the tread is.
