I was looking for recommendations just got a pellet stove, have issues with propane deliveries being late or canceled and have a newborn on the way can’t layer up like me and the Mrs were doing and getting by with small heaters etc.

I know this is wrong I realized later I didn’t use the 90 and attach the cap, saw it when I was moving the box kit. Which is easy to put in thank god silicone (rvt 500) should be wasy to get off.

But should I do that or should I horizontal vent it and change the cap out, I know I need to get another 2 ft above the roofline for the horizontal venting, clearly didn’t do math well and have a 3ft piece I am getting tomorrow.

Mine comes from the basement and goes up the side of the house where they used a 90 and then a nozzle to blow it away from the house. In your case you just need a rain cap. You could probably add another spacer to that first clamp and get a nice vertical run up the house.
The pipe retainers/clamps my guy had were adjustable I believe for in and out. You might be able to a different type to get rid of the spacers.

Your installation looks OK, just need a cap
You may also want a heat shield around the lower part of the chimney
just to keep people away from the warm pipe. Seeing as it comes out over the deck. deck
