Simple answer: not all galaxies are moving away from each other; for example, AFAIK, the galaxies in our Local Group are not moving apart from each other. Even as space expands, gravity keeps clumps of matter together and attracted to each other, if they are close enough to each other. That's why galaxies can collide while space continues expanding.
