Default Need help with carpet

The previous owner install new capet in my '72, but I'm thinking a few shortcuts were taken. My question is:

How does the carpet fit around the dimmer switch pedal ? Specifically, does it lay over the dimmer switch pedal and switch, or does it lay flat against to floorboard? Put another way - Can you see the dimmer switch pedal or is it underneath the carpet?
