The positive comments about me are embarassing actually. I don’t think I’m correct all of the time and think I could be more courteous than I am.  
Anyhoo, if the OP is still following this I’m not saying the dealer is not at fault; only that you have an unknown situation and no one knows.

If the float arm was bent while changing the pump module over then yes, this is the tech’s fault.  
If the wire connector is only half plugged in then that is also the tech’s fault.

If the module has gone stupid then this is no one’s fault; just the roll of the dice on a used part.  
If the wire connector is aged and corroded this is not the fault of the dealer either.  
GM has had some fuel pump connector issues. I don’t think the OP’s vehicle is one of those on the list, but many times those lists may be incomplete and other models should be on there.

The problem should be fairly easy to verify with an ohmmeter and by doing some probing of the tank wiring. If the tank is full and the ohmmeter shows high resistance through the tank connector then the module is more than likely bad and it’s just one of those things that happen.
