My guess this is because of the expanding universe. Perhaps an expert here has a better and more likely correct explanation?

You are confusing the current distance(47BLY) with the original distance(13.5BLY). The source and destination are traveling apart from each other, hence the distance
now is 47BLY.
Listen to it again, it explains it.
