Not generally required in that location. Usually don’t have to mess with expansion fittings until you see runs over 100’ IIRC. Where’d that damn code book go…I'm surprised that they didn't require an expansion coupling up to the meter.

Imo, nope, use whichever on either side. They'll either be 180* or 120* off phase from each other, but it doesn't matter for your use.
single phase doesn't care. If there's a code that says it matters I've not seen it.
Nothing exists unless it's a corner grounded delta.single phase doesn't care. If there's a code that says it matters I've not seen it.
I'm probably wrong about this, I don't have much experience with single phase residential services, and it's been a few since I've installed a commercial service.
The bare copper wire between the main OCPD (overcurrent protection device) and the meter base is creating a parallel path to ground with the grounded conductor (aka neutral), something in the back of my mind tells me that's not correct.
I'm thinking that the bare copper needs to be removed from the meter base to the main OCPD ground buss.
You are establishing the correct grounding electrode, grounding electrode conductor in the main OCPD enclosure.
At the end of the day it all boils down to what the AHJ deems correct based on local codes and the NEC.
I agree on the parallel ground/bond being suspect, also for us up here that (small) exposed solid system ground would not fly, again everywhere has its own norm’s.
I also did notice the Klein stripper, very nice, I’ve never seen one in the field.
This is what I am used to seeing, up here at least. (Not my drawring)

And then add ground bushing because of the flex, if the was a galv nipple it would’ve been fine.
