then it's not going to empty or do it's job properly

the waste needs to be at the right height

what was it like before, how has it altered ?

If you have by any chance an Adjustable trap, take it back. the non adjustable ones go a bit higher!

A P trap may give you a higher outlet than a bottle trap. By how much is the bottle trap outlet too low?
