Flange cap seals

This usually happens when the caps have been hammered in too deeply,
causing them to rub and eventially wear through.  They should be installed
so that the outer lip is flush.

But the one on the drivers side had a hole in it,it was machined on the joint side . My mechanic had replaced that cap 20K miles ago. Is it possible he put the wrong one? I thought there was only "one size fits all",
