If it wasn't like that before, he probably just knocked a neighboring shift rod forward or knocked one forward and misplaced the shifter. You will probably have to remove the housing and move the rods back into the neutral position. It's a pain but no damage should be done to the tranny.
If that is the problem I would try to get my money back and wouldn't return.
