The email is a bit unclear.

[1] Is this a WRF question or an NCL question?
    If there is a mismatch between the
    "WRF boundary file" and the model, then it
    is a WRF question [wrfhelp_at_ucar.edu]
    NCL certainly plots the data correctly.... if
    it is given the correct information.
    
[2] Assuming that the data order is (Time,level,lat,lon)
    then the following is *incorrect*
    
    You have
    
    plot = gsn_csm_contour_map(wks,T_BXS(nt,:,0,:),res) ; (lev,lon)
                          ^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^

    This is drawing a (lev,lon) cross section not a map.
    Why are you using the map function?
    
    ------
    If you just want a contour plot (cross-section) then

    plot = gsn_csm_contour(wks,T_BXS(nt,:,0,:),res)
