Some photos, including an overall view and some detail views, would help.

Do not be surprised. Most of us have jobs because of this sort of thing.

There is a remarkable overemphasis on the make and type of shingle. While I like the shingle you chose, and think Certainteed products are excellent, the shingle is the least important consideration if one is concerned with leaks. It's about all the details you can't see and probably don't even know about.
The reputable roofing contractor probably has nice trucks, insurance, good business practice, clean, etc., etc......but that doesn't mean they're getting the details right.
Go to the Certainteed site and spend a boring few hours going through their installation specifications, then compare them to what your roofing contractor is providing. If they compare, you are lucky.
As far as anything else you described, I can't visualize what you're describing. I have no idea if anything is normal or if you should be concerned.
Gotta have a pic.......give us an establishing shot, then a close up detail.

Call Certainteed and ask for a manufacturer's rep to come out to the house to see if the roof was properly installed.
Keep in mind that most roofing warranties are not for the shingles. The warranties are for the roofing systems that include requirements to following installation specifications.
Hopefully the roofer will come back and make any recommended changes.
Good Luck.
