If the anisotropies in the CMB are what led to galaxies, wouldn't that mean that the galaxies are now existing in front of their respective anisotropies, and if so, how do we know the microwave fluctuations (anisotropies) we're seeing don't just come from the galaxies themselves?

If you used three laser beams to create a triangle in a strong gravitational field, would you always measure the sum of its angles to be different from 180°?
