Salam,

I dont see the verse saying that heaven was created after earth. The verse says of turning towards the heaven, which would imply that there was already a heaven in place. Hence the verse would not be about heaven being created after earth, but the heaven undergoing a change of state.

Moreoever Quran always puts the heaven prior to earth as it says in several verses that Allah is the Lord of the heavens and the earth or similar verse. Which all hint towards some priorness of heaven, perhaps because of its prior creation or perhaps because heavens are a greater creation.
