Concrete Post Movement Now Panel Won't Fit

Hi
So I had a new fence installed with concrete posts 18months ago.
When we had high winds one of the panels came down, I put the fence panel back but the top of the fence wouldnt stay in place it kept falling out. I thought the fence panel may have been damaged so I ordered a new one. This had the same problem. On measuring the distance between the concrete posts it measure 180.6 at bottom and 181.6 at Top. Surely concrete posts shouldn’t move???
Should I go back to the people who installed?
I understand the fence panel will be wind damage but should the post move? Surely the post would have moved backward or forwards if wind damage not sideways.
Also on inspection some of the other panels look they are only in the concrete by about 2mm.
