The deadline for mail-in ballots was not based on delivery time, it was based on postmark time. So there is absolutely nothing wrong with a ballot arriving after 5PM November 5th, so long as it was postmarked before the cutoff. So the laws were followed, no contradiction, just a selective lack of understanding by a group of bad actors.
