Everyone's first conclusion is to jump to the most complex answer... but I must ask... (not even sure it would be possible but)

Did they install the rears in the front?
For what it’s worth. I was able to source 2 new B6’s not from FCP Euro and had them installed by the exact same shop/exact same installer. They’ve been on the car for a year now with no issues. I still feel that there was a manufacturing defect with the first set I received.
