It's not what you're capable of doing that defines you, it's what you do on a daily basis.
Should naturally draft just fine.

I guess your talking about the immediate 90° elbow
If I do a job in 30 minutes it's because I spent 30 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes.
It Ohmost looks like the backdraft diverter was cut down also. Might just be the angel.

Does that vent dump into a return duct?
If you were a real tech, you'd solder a relay on that board and call it good to go.
I do a triple evac with nitro to remove non condensables.
I use 56% silver on everything except steel.
Did you really need the " If you were a real tech " ??

Yes, they cut it way down. It's not going to help at all if there's a down draft.

The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking.
Draft diverters aren't very good anyway, better to have a barometric draft control, what they did is cut the legs mostly off of this one making it even worse.

I was at a buddy's house one time. they were asking me about running gas line or something, and casually mentioned that when it's real windy outside, sometimes they have to relight the pilot on the water heater. I found all the legs bent out on the draft deverter and the cone flat against the top of the heater. Got a good chuckle out of that one.....they seemed to think it was a normal thing. they'd been in the house several years! LOL!

Well we all know the tab typically goes into the slot on those.
It appears they just bent one leg to hold it in place.

Hack waterheater vent.
Are you going to repair it? Looks like you don’t have room for a barometric

A 4" bull-dogged tee with a barometric damper would fit. The curled plastic on the top of the heater is a sure back-draft sign.
After you learn refrigeration, fixing an A/C is like a walk in a park under shade trees
