I just had Nema 14-50 outlet installed by an Electrician. When I swapped out the cover plate, I noticed the Green wire was abit strange, not sure why it was not run all the way to the outlet in one piece. I am no electrical expert and would appreciate your input. If it was not installed and wired correctly, please let me know what should be done and I will ask the electrician to remedy. Thank you

The green wire is typically a ground wire, which can connect to the receptical, or a metal box, as in this case. you're fine.
That is a typical way the ground wire is connected. It needs to connect to both the metal box and the receptacle, so electricians strip a bit of the ground wire insulation in the middle to connect to the box on the way to the receptacle. All is fine.
