You're missing the point.
The galaxy that now appears to be 13.7 billion years away, appears as it did 13.7 billion years ago from our frame of reference. It's actually been receding away from the milky way, and is now substantially farther away (on the order of 46+ billion light years).
You're going to have to connect the dots, because whatever it is you're attempting to illustrate makes zero sense.
So are you saying that if we were looking through our telescope 13.2 billion years ago that we would see the Universe that we see now?
Are you also saying that the Universe has expanded 32.3 billion light years in 13.7 billion years?
No, he's saying if you stood on a planet in one of the furthest galaxies in the Hubble volume and pointed a telescope at where Earth is now, it wouldn't be there.
If you were looking through a telescope 13.7 billion years ago, there would be a lot of superheated plasma and debris in the way.
