Advice on our oval pool installation

Hello,
Our pool was installed on 6/6 and I wanted to ask for opinions on the finished installation. I noticed after it was done that the beams didn't seem like they were in a straight row and lined up evenly. When I asked the installer about this he said that once we fill it up the rest of the way with our hose that it should push out and fix itself.(The loads of water that are in it now were delivered so its mostly almost full) So I was wondering if that's really possible or not. Also the liner seems to be bulging up top and I was wondering if it should be like this and if not what should I do to fix it? I didn't take the duct tape off the liner and the posts yet. I'm worried it might tear the liner if I try to remove it. I would appreciate any help and advice. I have little kids and older kids that would be using this pool so I just wanted to make sure it would be safe once they do get in it since the beams or posts aren't lined up straight on the one side. It also has to be inspected so we can use it. Thank you so much . I appreciate it 20170606_194515.jpg Im having a hard time uploading pictures, sorry ill try to figure it out.
 
I don't thing it will straiten any more. It "looks" as though the posts are not lined up straight and also at different levels.
My Oval pool has strong metal that goes under the pools about 4 foot and then the ends are tied together with a plate about 20 inches wide that covers all four straight supports. sand is on top of them a few inches deep then the weight of the water holds them from leaning out. In your case they seem to be staggered a bit. water weight will not straighten that stagger. mine were straight before and after water being added.
I cannot open your additional pictures so i base this on the 1st post.
In my opinion all posts should have been straight and inline with each other and straight up vertical, before filling with water.

I have a 18x33x52 and installed it myself. I also had to empty it when it was 1/2 full because the posts were leaning out from not adding enough sand over the flat strips to hold them and my blocks sunk down about 3/4 inch. At the top two were at least 3 inches out too far. The experienced Water guy explained the situation and event told me how to fix my issue. it was a painful fix but all is well now.
Hope I helped you some.
 
It should have been straight as an arrow before the liner went in let alone filled with water. You need to get them back there to fix that and refill it at their cost. Buttress free ovals like yours have a pressure plate under the liner pulling the walls into the middle of the pool the more water in the pool the more force there is keeping the walls the way they are.
