How was it determined that this was “about 13 billion light-years away”?

Obviously long baseline interferometry is inadequate in such a task so they were undoubtedly reduced to counting bars in the spectrum to see where helium, e.t. al were at.
Whether or not you agree with the appellation of "light years" this is the result you get when you use that method.
It's a long way away, Fur Shur. "Over yonder" if you catch my drift.

This has always made me wonder....
If this light was emitted 13 billion years ago,
And our galaxy probably did not even exist at that time,
And the universe had not expanded to the current region of our galaxy yet,
And this light has traveled 13 billion light years to get here,
How did the matter that makes up our galaxy out-run this light so that we could be here when the light eventually arrived 13 billion years later?
hmmmm... I must be dumb.
