Hi, a plumber recently had to remove the toilet to access the bath taps which were very close.I asked him to overhaul it while he had it out, but a few months later It’s leaking when flushed.
it seems to be the doughnut, pictured below, maybe I can get a wider / thicker one to fill the gap more?
Is that the solution?

I also wonder if it may have been pushed too far against the wall as the gap between cistern and toilet was a bit bigger at the back.

He also hadn’t fixed the system with two screws as it previously was is that some professional kind of fix because they go rusty or something or is he just rubbish?

Thanks

Is the toilet branded? Maybe get one the same? Looks like a smaller one was used. Looks like an Ideal Standard/Armitage Shanks type, or even Siamp.
 
Measure the diameter of the flush valve threaded tail - Use a rubber replacement do-nut. Dont use a foam do-nut. Change the WC bolts while your at it - Fluidmaster do good bolts.
