The toolbar of the edit window has a small icon looking like a mountain (6th from the left).. — Bernard, Sep 17 '19 at 00:28
Welcome to TeX.SX! Please make your code compilable (if possible), or at least complete it with \documentclass{...}, the required \usepackage's, \begin{document}, and \end{document}. That may seem tedious to you, but think of the extra work it represents for TeX.SX users willing to give you a hand. Help them help you: remove that one hurdle between you and a solution to your problem. — Alessandro Cuttin, Sep 17 '19 at 10:21
haha-its not on purpose believe me--if someone could point me in the right direction — js bibra, Sep 17 '19 at 12:02

The horizontal alignment around the colon : is possible if you set the heading using a tabular:

\fancyhead[R]{%
  \footnotesize
  \begin{tabular}{@{} r @{:\ } l @{}}
            Document & Level 01    \\
            Issue No & 01          \\
          Issue Date & 15 Sep 2019 \\
    Rev No/ Rev Date & ---         \\
                Page & X of XX
  \end{tabular}}

Thanks. Request breakdown the following line. \begin{tabular}{@{} r @{:\ } l @{}} – js bibra Sep 17 '19 at 05:16
works perfect thanks – js bibra Sep 17 '19 at 08:23
why does the bracket start on the first line --\fancyhead[R]{%--and not on the second line? – js bibra Sep 17 '19 at 08:26
how is the alignment carried out for all the 4 lines while coding-- Document & Level 01 \ Issue No & 01 \ Issue Date & 15 Sep 2019 \ Rev No/ Rev Date & --- \ Page & X of XX – js bibra Sep 17 '19 at 08:28
but now the header is misaligned --image above – js bibra Sep 17 '19 at 08:46
@jsbibra. Put both the Right and C header in their own tabular. That way they'll be vertically aligned in the centre. – Werner Sep 17 '19 at 15:55
The alignment is done using two columns in the tabular. The left column defined the "label" and the right the "value" associated with that label. You can change the alignment to be left, right or centre. The column separation is given by @{:\ } which prints a : followed by a space for each row. The outer @{} removes any column spacing, thereby pushing the tabular flush to the Right side of the page/header. – Werner Sep 17 '19 at 15:57

@jsbibra: The alignment is given in the column specification: ..r..l.. means two columns; first is right-aligned and the second is left-aligned. – Werner Sep 17 '19 at 16:48
sorry if i was not clear --i meant the code at the top in the grey area is very neatly aligned--how is it done--i did not mean the output part of the code but the code itself for example-- Document & Level 01 \--are all aligned in the four lines of code --how is it done--hope i am clear – js bibra Sep 17 '19 at 16:54
@jsbibra: Oh, I just spaced it out manually, because it made the code presentation clear; that is, the horizontal alignment in the output matched the code (input). It's just a preference. There is a package - latexindent - that does this kind of thing, if you're interested. I don't think it'll perform an alignment that matches the output, but it'll align on your typical alignment characters, like & and \\. – Werner Sep 17 '19 at 17:22
@jsbibra: You can delete your own comments. – Werner Sep 18 '19 at 00:57
