Check attached - As you can see currently there is an abs extension pipe of about 3" from the wall - than there is trap adapter glued on which has a male threads - I believe the black abs pipe is 1 1/2"How about a side view., and maybe include a tape measure scale in the photo?
Normal action would be to cut the black pipe and then glue on a trap adapter. However in your case, that may not work, and instead you would glue on a bend and then a trap adapter.
Your photo seems to show the pipe and the tailpiece look to be nearly inline. For that to work, you need a minimum space to fit the trap. It is easier when they don't line up, and you can swing the trap to hit the tailpiece.
If your pipe and tailpiece were exactly in line, you could consider a bottle trap. That is unlikely.
Can you please comment on the links I sent above ...those type of 'newer' options will work? so I dont have to cut the existing pipe?Work? maybe. Meet code, no.
Align the trap to be perpendicular to the wall. Measure the distance from the middle of the trap inlet to the plane of the wall? Let's call that W1. How far is is from the middle of the tailpiece to the plane of the wall. Let's call that W2.
One way to work this is to cut the pipe, and put on a new trap adapter closer to the wall by (W1-W2) plus a bit of margin.
Another is to put a trap adapter on a 45 , with the 45 on the cut pipe. Model it up to make sure that the trap will swing enough.
There are other possibilities where you jog the output of the drain over to meet the input to the trap.

This is awkward, but...
