Get an angle grinder with a tile bit on it. Fit the screen frame onto the wall and draw a line on both sides top to bottom and then grind the tiles down to an acceptable level then fit the frame into the channel. The mastic will hide the cuts. Alternatively, get the tiler to redo it

WTAF?!? Get it done again. That would annoy me every time I saw it. (Tbh I assumed that was your first attempt at tiling and was waiting for someone to let you down gently...)

This.


Or get a bigger tray and mount the screen on the wall not the tiles.

Please just start again... If only to get rid of those horrid animal print tiles (unless they're stickers...but even so)...WTF?
And use some nicer tiles - those white ones look very cheap and very nasty.
Were spacers even used between the tiles - they look all over the place?

I'm being particularly critical and rude, but I think you'll thank us later.

Its a 500 year old house, it looks like those tiles have been chosen to look a bit "oldy worldy." I would imagine everything in the house is out of square, with wobbly uneven lines, putting really uniform tiles in might look worse....
