I got a new roof at the front part and I have noticed that some of the tiles are raised compared to the others so you can see a little gap under them. Is this normal or is this standard and nothing to worry about? Here is a photo, where I have shown the raised tiles in red. Thanks in advance for any help from someone who knows about roof!

Looks to me like the hip rafter was fitted slightly too steep in comparison to the plane of the common rafters...(?) and that the battens are kicking at the ends.
Thanks. The hip rafters were not replaced as the other side of the roof from the photo was not replaced so I guess there is a slight gradient mis-align. Is that going to cause a leak or is it just an aethestic thing? The roofer says that this why the ends are a bit raised but it will not cause any leaks.
What do you think about the circled bit in the middle? There was a hole there when the roofer was finishing off, which he then subsequently filled. I think a new tile may have cracked and he had to open a hole to replace it. Which I think why there is a less tighter fit there.
Looks to me like a tile not quite 'nibbed' right and just needs wiggling to seat it.

I asked the roofer if that is a problem as it looks a bit more raised than the others, and he says it will settle on its own with time! Hmmmm.... I just hope it is not going to cause an issue.
I think because they had to insert it after the roof was laid, it is harder to seat it properly.
