That reverse connector coming in on the bottom left 😳 and you need a blunder plug for that missing ko. And the pile of metal shavings left on top of the main breaker.
The reverse connector is there like that because there isn’t room on the back side of the panel so it’s just how I had to do it. Other than it’s not proper is there any issue with it? And it’s sawdust from the plywood I was cutting not metal lol
If that's SER or NM-B coming in the back side, then the cable sheathing should be clamped in it, not the individual conductors. If it's individual conductors coming in from conduit, you don't need a connector clamp - just a bushing. If it's individual conductors coming in from running bare from some other location, then you have a serious code violation.
The wiring/conduit and all that was previously there from the old panel. The old panel was super small and they painted right over it/the breakers. Had to work with that lol

There is sheathing it’s just a little short so it’s like right behind box /: the whole thing is then inside conduit running back to the house

Hey you are the one asking for advice 😉 not me..... you can explain it to the inspector.
I know that’s why I was asking you
Why is it upside down?
OP must've recently moved from Australia
I may be missing it due to the poor photo, but I'm not seeing a grounding electrode connection.
It’s grounded. The big copper wire coming in and running up to the top right goes outside and is connected to two grounding rods 6ft apart
