ᐅ Odors in the bathroom – possibly due to improperly installed wastewater pipes?

Hello experts,
We moved into our newly built house about 2 years ago, and we are increasingly experiencing unpleasant odors in our bathroom.
The question is whether the wastewater pipes might have been installed incorrectly, possibly with insufficient slope?
I have attached a file named: BILD - BadWCKasten + Text Dec12.jpg, which shows all the pipes clearly labeled.
Can anyone provide some insight on this?
Thank you!

Hi,
has the issue been resolved by now?
To determine whether the traps are dry, simply use the bathroom more frequently or pour some water daily into unused drains. If the odor disappears, the traps were the cause. If the smell remains, either a wastewater pipe or its connection is leaking, or the ventilation system is not functioning properly, allowing gases to pass through a trap even though there is water in it.
The connection of the wall-hung toilet and the trap of the washbasin are always the most suspicious.
