Urgent HeIp! Is center of shower/tub valve trim 2'2" from floor t

In my current house, the distance from the center of the shower/tub valve trim to the bathroom floor is 2'10", which feels pretty good.

In the house we recently bought, the distance from valve trim center to the floor is only 2'2", very close to the spout. I need to bend down to turn or adjust the handle. Is it too close or is it normal? Today, I went out to buy all the tiles, bullnose, decorative trims, and shower floors for my master bathroom. When I came back, I found the contractor already put the new valve and valve trim on, at the same distance of 2'2" to the floor.

Is the valve trim too low or is it normal? What is the distance of the valve trim to the floor of your tub/shower? Once installed, can the position be changed?

Tomorrow, the contractor will put on tiles. Any input or sharing of experience is GREATLY appreciated.
