Welcome to NICO.
Assuming that your door unlocks with the key fob and with the door handle button, that part of the repair went well and the key fob is also working correctly. Does the alarm also sound when unlocking and opening any other doors? If not, then the trouble seems to have been caused by the body shop and they will need to figure out what they did wrong.
Another idea would be to take it to Infiniti and tell them what's wrong. They will be able to tell you what the body shop missed and what to tell the body shop to do. Seems to me the body shop should cover the cost of fixing it under whatever warranty they provide for repairs.

When I purchase my car, the dealership never gave me a key fob. I use my keys to unlock my car but I really don't wanna take it back to the body shop that did work to my car because they did a crappy job and keep pushing my due date back every week they said it was going to be done but it might have to be my only choice. I was wondering if I change the factory alarm would it do anything.

When you purchase your car, you never got a key fob...
Careful observation here...the statement above does not add up.
Unless it was specifically ghetto modified, this car REQUIRES the chip in the key fob to start the car.
Exactly what do you put in the ignition to start it? A traditional key?
Next: I would not consider changing the factory alarm a viable option here.
Testing the other doors is the way to narrow the problem down as suggested.
Fixing the issue (once narrowed) is a matter of your patience, diligence and comes down to 3 options.
1. Your original damage estimate has to be updated (this is common) and your suggestion to the insurance adjuster should be for the body shop to outsource the solution to the dealership for a correct diagnosis & timely repair ...given the issues you've had with the body shop.
2. you troubleshoot this yourself, repair on your dime and good luck with that.
3. you live with it.
You have a rental for the duration, right?
