LilyPond is even flexible enough to accept

sustainOff = \tweak X-offset 2 \sustainOff

to make the tweak stick.

But I think it's usually better to represent the music semantically 
correct: A \sustainOff after the note means that the pedal should be 
released only _after_ the chord is played. For this, David Kastrup's 
\after function is highly useful:

%%%
\version "2.22.1"

after =
#(define-music-function (delay ev main) (ly:duration? ly:music? ly:music?)
   #{ \context Bottom << { s$delay <> $ev } #main >> #})

\relative {
  % For vertical alignment:
  \override Score.SustainPedal.Y-offset = -3

  c'1 \sustainOn | \after 2 \sustainOff c
}
%%%
