As noted, I have installed the new vanity, and the space between the new sink drain and the wall is very limited (4.5 inches to center of the new sink drain). I thought I could just go on the other side of the wall and cut off what I needed to allow enough space…but the other side of the wall is a 90 degree bend. Now I have to come up with a totally different solution to still provide the trap. Looking for options.
I thought maybe I could install a t-junction and cap off one end so I would at least have a straight connection on the other side of the wall, providing me the precious additional room I need for the trap.

It is normal to cut the drainage end of the trap tube to fit.
They come long and are intended to be trimmed to fit - that's the "male" part of the slip joint normally found on the output of the trap - similar joints and trimming are typically found between the sink tailpiece and the trap entrance, though specific cases vary.
There's also typically a range of motion from twisting the trap horizontally.
