To the extent of the damage to the trans will need to be evaluated by a professional or atleast a novice that can effectively located the full damage or just replace the entire trans if need be, there are repair sleeves that may be what you need, again without seeing it first hand but even the sleeves should be left to a expert. I would throw away the wrong size axle, pull the trans then take it into trans shop for repairs and rebuild while its out if its high mileage/or replace it with a known good lower mileage unit with same trans code as your computer is.

Probably the transmission needs to be replaced. Do NOT let the person that did this work on your car in the future.
