Mounting screw bulging through base

I got my skis mounted in October at a local shop. I did not do any tightening of the screws but I just looked at my bases after getting them waxed and i see a bulge right where the screw is on the bottom. Should i loosen the screw or leave it?
 
If they had drilled to far they would have gone through the base. I would have to say they used the wrong length screw. Are those griffons? If they are, they probably used the 14mm screws were a 12 should be and vice versa.

Make sure you have them pull out all the screws to see where the lost shorty is. Its likely that your working with half a screw in another hole.
 
New ski day baby! Go make them buy you new shit. Also, mount your own stuff next time so the stoned otherwise unemployable 19/47 year old doesn't ruin your shit again

They are marker 11 shitty binding I know but they did not look like this until today.

It’s not hard to mount skis at all a monkey could do it, especially since manufacturers write what drill bit to use on the top sheets now and almost all the screws come already in the bindings where they should be
 
Driving isn't hard either, but people kill themselves in cars everyday. It comes down to double checking your work and thinking about what you're doing. It's easy to get on autopilot and mount a set backwards or something

this is a valid point, I have yet to screw up a customers mount because I know its coming out of my pocket if I do
 
My ski shop also messed up my brand new blends and theres a big dimple in the bottom of them now. I have already put two days on them now though so would that affect them being able to fix it / put it on me since i didn't bring them back in right away?
