You can either use the --prefix option that sets everything, or the more specific --sysconfdir
See configure --help for other options where syslog-ng would be looking for its files.
If you look at deb or rpm packaging scripts, those options are controlling paths.

The unit file states type=notify whereas syslog-ng may be compiled without notify support.
That may explain the situation that syslog-ng is running but systemd thinks it didnt start up.
