Installed winter tires with old DOT dates. Bought new. Solutions?

I recently bought 4x Alpin PA4. Got them for the winter specifically. The tires were ~290CAD each before taxes and shipping.
I ordered the tires online and they were shipped to the garage. I dropped off the car to have them install it (without checking the dates). Unfortunately, I checked them after they were mounted+balanced+installed so the company that sold it says they cant do anything. The garage cant do anything either.
The years were 2022, 2021, 2020, 2017. Pretty huge difference. And it's pretty much Nov 2022 right now.
I'm in the process of figuring it out with the company but...
How much of a discount can I push for?
The 2017 tire cant really be sold anyways as it's 5 years old, right?
Should I do a partial chargeback via my cc?
~~
Another thing, I hear/feel rubbing of something kind based on vehicle speed. It's most noticeable around 40kph. It's not noticeable slower than that. And kinds repeats quickly enough at speeds faster than 40kph that it blends into background noise. I cant really tell if it comes from one or all the tires/wheels.
Would that be tire tire or installation/balance issue?
