Personally I would not be concerned. About half the time I have a bit of trouble finding my strings, and I have had my IUD for over a year!
I just refuse to let it worry me. I also would not freak out about the BV thing- they were aware of it being a mild case and you were treated, so they probably deemed it appropriate to go ahead.
What I would do is call and ask to speak to the nurse on duty, and just ask these questions- you were wondering in hindsight why they did not do those checks, because you have heard of other places doing them, and you just want to make sure you did everything right. Also ask for a bit of help maybe finding your strings.
For me, I know my cervix is up and to the left a little bit; whenever I look for my strings I find them off to the side rather than poking straight down. Also mine are really short- the doc trimmed them up quite a bit for me so I would not have to worry about them poking Simon or myself/dangling oddly!
I used a cup only a little while after the insertion and I was fine, even though I was afraid that the sucking as I took it out to change it would rip my IUD out! It is most likely just first-week paranoia. But it can't hurt to call and get it checked out!
