appreciate this. I knew it wasn’t code but I just wasn’t sure how far off the water heater it could be installed

Wait... are we talking about the copper pipe or the steel exhaust elbow?

There is no issue with the copper elbow where it is.

I think the exhaust looks just fine too as far as distance and direction are concerned.

Yeah I guess I thought the question was related to the exhaust. I think it's fine all around. The exhaust looks to be ok (except that tape, there should be screws under the tape), and the copper is fine.
