Should i be worried

So about two weeks ago my radiator was replaced due to it leaking across the top seam. The car never over heated during that time and the coolant level didnt drop below the low mark on the reservoir. Fast forward to today, I check the coolant level as I am about to leave SD and go back to the bay untill school starts up and it is at the L mark. I added some in and will be driving with a coolant bottle and funnel in my trunk. Should i be worried at all? or should i get something checked out?

*cliff notes* radiator replaced two weeks ago and now coolant level on L mark in reservoir

When it's hot, it should be at full as liquid expands. I'd look underneath and look for any green, and also double check the bill to make sure it is a Subaru brand radiator, and not some 1800-radiator.
