I wish I could find it, but a few years back I saw a picture of an oil filter that had a big "X" scratched into the top and instead of changing it, the mechanic just took a Sharpie and tried to fill in the "X"!
But yeah, when I still took it to the dealer I marked the filter and the tires too. I discovered on tire rotations, dealers no longer do (what I consider) the standard rotation either, they just move back to front front to back on the same side vs what I was taught which is back to front, front to opposite side back so your tires truly rotate through every corner of the car.
Now that I'm out of warranty (and no longer getting the service for free), I just do it all at home anyway. A Fumoto Drain Valve makes oil changes so easy.
Anyway, OP always do a post-maintenance walk around. Everyone has a bad day and even the best garages can make a mistake.
Hopefully they didn't cross-thread and strip the hole in your oil pan.
