After installing toilet started to finish with installing h20 tank. Water
tank tilts forward. Need to move toilet at least 2 in more away from
wall for tank to fit.

Or you need to measure the rough-in from the wall to the sewer pipe,
and this time purchase a toilet that fits that rough-in. Current
toilets generally use a 12-inch rough-in, but older homes frequently
have a 10-inch rough-in. Not every store stocks non-standard toilets,
but you can special order them if necessary. Your other option, if
this is a two-piece toilet, is to purchase a slim-sized tank for
tight/small spaces and attach that to your existing base. Been there,
done that.
