Gaps in new hard wood flooring

I bought 5 inch wide and 3/4 inch thick white oak flooring from floor & decor. It's been acclimating in my Southern California house for 2 months.

Yesterday the installer starting installing them and complained that they were not of uniform width. He says they're defective and needs to go back.

Here's a picture. You can see two planks where there is a partial gap along the length of the board.

Anyone have similar experiences in the past with this sort of issue?

What's the next steps? Can this be fixed?

Is this related to humidity levels inside the house?

Thanks!
