Is there not a heater radiator that can leak. As opposed to the normal radiator. It used to be tucked up in behind the dashboard in a lot of older cars thus soaking the carpet when it leaked. Might be same in ur motor.

"Is there not a heater radiator that can leak"

That's what I'd suspect.  More commonly known as the "heater matrix"

Don't think I like your garage.  No properly fitted new radiator would lose coolant, unless the air had not been bled correctly from the system when the garage fitted it.  Unfortunately some modern cars have cooling systems which can be difficult to bleed.

Will it be the heater matrix would I need a new one? Maybe that’s why it’s letting cold air out of vents

I wud have thought that's ur problem. From cars I have owned in the past, that did same thing but get a mechanics opinion . Maybe a different mechanic.

yes definitely a different mechanic

Cud be a fair bit of work getting it changed. Dashboard wud prob have to come out to get access to heater matrix. But a good mechanic will know for sure.
