This seems a reasonable explanation for why we don't see those galaxies but how can a galaxy be measured at 33 billion light years away if what we can see is this side of the cosmic event horizon.
In general, if something is moving away from you, there are three possible measures of the "distance" of that object. Note, of course, that the distance of the object from you varies over time.
The first is the distance of the object was when the light was emitted.
The second is the distance of the object when the light is received.
The third is some measure of the time the light has been travelling.
For example, imagine that the Voyager spacecraft sent a signal back to Earth from where it is now. The signal would take about 20 hours to reach us. By the time the light reaches us, Voyager is slightly further away, but only about another 4 light seconds. That's almost negligible, so the three measures of distance almost coincide, and there is negligible ambiguity is how far away it is. It's about 20 light hours by all three measures. Note that the expansion of the universal is negligible or even irrelevant over such short distances.
A distance galaxy, however, might have been 5 billion light years away when the light was emitted, the light might have take 10 billion years to reach Earth and that galaxy might now be 25 billion light years away. I've made those numbers up, by the way. You could research for yourself what would be valid numbers, but you get the idea. In any case, the three possible measues of distance are all significantly different.
Finally, the concept of a cosmological event horizon arises because some objects are so far away when the light is emitted that the light will never reach Earth - owing to the continued expansion of the universe. For further reading on this, you could try this excellent Insight:
