Look at the anatomy of a breadboard and other components and then build the circuit pictured below. It is important that the wires and components that are joined in the each set of 5 holes match the diagram. It doesn't matter if the wires and components go into a different set of 5 holes.
So, you can put the LED further to the right and as long as the purple wire is in the same set of 5 holes as the long leg and the orange wire is in the same set of 5 holes as the short leg, the circuit will be the same.
