I have a dryer stacked on top of my washer and the exhaust duct attachment point is elevated off the ground.
Or contractor had to build out the wall and create an area where the plumbing, gas and exhaust can be hooked up to my machines.
We've been running these machine for about 6 months and I just noticed that there is warm moist air flowing (low flow) around the duct connection point by the wall (red arrows in picture) there is also some condensation on the walls.
Should I be concerned about moist air getting behind the walls and causing mold?
Is there anything I can do to minimize the leaking moist air?

I think your venting is leaking. If it was not leaking, you would not be having condensation. Condensation in this area is a result of warm moist air - from the dryer - contacting a cool surface. Seal the leak, solve the problem.
