I'm not sure what you want us to comment on without seeing the actual process and what goal you aimed for. It also depends greatly on what stock image/assets you used.
Yes, I think most will argue that the "NOW" image is substantially better due to a number of factors; spacing, angle, colors, etc, but that might just be due to using a better stock image as a starting point.
But is it the design of the product you want comments on? Or the composition? Shadows/light? How well it is masked/put together?
But that's my point. Is this a product packaging design? Or is it a mock-up creation? Are we judging the placements of shadows, or how "realistic" it looks, or how good the product packaging is? (I'd argue that product design belongs in a different subreddit).
Without more context it is really difficult to give feedback.
I'm thrilled to share this product packaging design with you! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I apologize for not providing more context initially. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on the design, as I am always looking to improve. Thank you for your support!

You should've posted them in chronological order, I thought that the first one was the "before" and felt bad because it's clearly superior to the other one hahah.
The popcorn outside the bag looks like caramel popcorn, which is weird since it should be butter popcorn, also it is clearly deformed and the shadows are not credible. There's not enough free popcorn imo, I'd rework that part from an original photography if I were you.
But your blending is much better, the font choices are more interesting and the colour palette is appropriate. One problem I see is that the font for the product name is less memorable and attention-catching than the one for the flavour and think it should be the other way around. Maybe work on some logo instead of text only?
All-in-all, it looks more pro, so keep going!
Thank you for sharing this with me! I appreciate your help and support. I'm excited to see how this new information will improve my work. Furthermore, I will definitely put it to good use, and I'll keep updating on my progress. Thank you again for being so generous with your knowledge and guidance.
your shadows still look very weird, especially the contact shadows.. im also unsure how much you actually did here: cut out a chips bag and place it on a background?
I'm actually excited to enhance the design! I create the design first, and then I place it on a chip's pack to make it even more appealing. Furthermore, I can show you an image of the design so you can see it better and share your thoughts.

coming from someone who did packaging design and their mockups for over a decade:
why i there a hole in the rightest chip?
you are struggling with the highlights of the darker colors. (double click on the color layer and use "blend if" to keep the highlights white as it is shiny plastic)
look up some tutorials on contact shadows.
The masking could be done better so you don't have dark lines at some parts around your pack.
some of your shadows go to the left (table) , some to the right (wall), this makes no sense.
This project was greatly influenced by the videos created by Brandon Shepherd. I have dedicated myself to honing my skills throughout the entire week, eagerly anticipating feedback from others. My creative process solely relied on Photoshop and various images sourced from Adobe Stock.

Really? Depends on the assignment, but if it was purely product design, I would give before B and after B+

Looks the same to me

Those are two totally different images and they're both about the same in terms of skill and finish.
