I hope the bike is ok and you can enjoy it as you used to as it obviously means a lot to you. It’s a shame the people who worked on it have so little knowledge of the engine and the person in charge failed to undertake basic workmanship checks prior to handing it back to you.
In view of how they have refitted the filter housing and the copper washers as pointed out by Nigel if it were my bike I would be taking the filter housing off to fit it correctly (the cast lug is there for a reason) and at the same time I would be checking the filter itself has been replaced with a new item and the flat washer has been refitted in the correct position between the spring and the filter. It will also give you an opportunity to check the condition of the oil. I would be taking pictures and I’d be going back to the mechanic and demanding some kind of refund for such shoddy workmanship.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I agree with Dave about checking the oil filter washer is still in place.
Not many places do refunds these days, they might offer to correctly fit the filter housing f.o.c. Personally I would correct it myself as I'm somewhat conflict averse as I get older.

I think I pulled a dodgy assistant. They have done some great work for me before and my engine sounds great now, but less internal things appear to be Fawlty Towers.
Ding Dong. I've just discovered the tail lamp is on all the time even when the headlamp is off. ::)

And just to add to above make sure the filter spring is between the housing and filter and not between filter and engine! Been done before!
