Hello, a flashing check engine light is usually a Catalyst damaging misfire, Hence the flashing to get your attention. You have pretty low mileage, and it does seem to be an odd coincidence. I'd be curious to know what codes are stored to begin with and on a full system scan of the vehicle, not just the engine computer (ECM/PCM).
How many days was it and how far did you drive it before the light came on the first time after the coolant flush? I would be questioning exactly what they did. Did they have to move certain sections of the wiring harness and why did they replace the thermostat, what codes were stored the first time you went there? (that should all be on the repair order they gave you after the first repair). And a list of the codes stored this time. Really you should be able to call right now, and they should be able to tell you what was stored for codes, it only takes a few minutes to scan a vehicle for trouble codes.
Did they get their diagnosis wrong the first time? I'll take a look at the wiring diagrams for this vehicle and see what sections of the thermostat might be electronic for a 2017.
The vehicle wasn't overheating the first time, was it? You just went for a check engine light?
