We don't see anything as (or where) it is. We can only see things as (and where) they were by virtue of the light they emitted from where they were when that light began its journey to our eyes.
For example; we never see the Sun exactly as it is now (or where it is now). What we see when we look towards the Sun is how and where it was over eight minutes ago when the light from the Sun began its journey. In the meantime the Sun has since moved by about two degrees (about four solar diameters) to the west from where it appears in Earth's sky.
As if that illusion isn't enough to cause some confusion, when we observe more distant objects we have to also take into account the expansion of the universe that has taken place since the light they emitted back when began its journey.
Finally, for the most distant objects we can see we have to take into account that the current rate of expansion is increasing from what it was back when the light we observe now began its journey. Observations indicate that expansion began to accelerate again when the universe was roughly two/thirds its current size, about the time our solar system began to take form, about five billion years ago.
