The main issue is that, in order to give Elio's profile a slightly more realistic appearance, you got overboard with pushing back his lower face without making sure that the general proportions followed more closely the rule of thirds. In other words, you removed a significant amount of facial volume, but didn't actually compensate for its absence.
See, although Elio's overly-round prognathism is definitely a stylistic choice, there's nonetheless a logical reason behind it: it's meant to provide enough room for his nasal dorsum, which, despite its shortness, all the same fulfills the purpose of adding a much-needed amount of distance between the lower eyelids and the borders of the nasal wings.
Plenty of non-Grubhub-style character designs from Disney films involve similar concessions regarding the anatomical accuracy of certain facial features. Frozen's female protags, for instance, both have an incongrous combination of medium-height nose bridges and low radixes, all for the sake of accommodating their anime-sized eyes so that they can look cute in frontal views.
Shortly put, in order to reduce Elio's prognathism without throwing off balance the rest of the design, you would need to tweak the overall proportions of the character's face, as shown in this anon's redraw >>149117075
