While prayin I realise that I am praying to much away from the direction of the qibla I turned in the last rakkah in the direction of the qibla should I repeat my prayer I am unsure to repeat because I suffer from waswas and you say don’t repeat anything but it was for a long time while praying

Take it as a rule: doubt is dismissed, and you do not repeat a prayer because of doubt. A small deviation from the qiblah does not harm, and repeating is only for the one who knows with certainty that he prayed in a clearly wrong direction. Since you suffer from waswas, do not open this door, stop these thoughts and move on.
