You’re not wrong. I think some of it is the difference between casual speech and formal writing (people are more likely to say “after being” but write “after having been”, especially in published work)**, but some of it is also just poorly phrased. It makes enough sense to a native speaker to get what the problem is asking, though.

It only bothered me because I saw that it was a school assignment and I thought it would be to a higher standard. In casual speech, I don’t really care unless the meaning is unclear.
