Take it back to the garage you got it fitted at and get them to have a proper look. Maybe a sensor or clip needs tightend
It could also just need a good run to get it up to temp to get it working properly. Find a covid safe excuse to go for a nice long motorway drive to get it all up to temp and see if the fault persists.
