The curtain that divides first class and coach between row X and row Y on aircraft left is blocking from a visual standpoint an emergency light that's mounted on the wall. In every other B737 fleet the curtain is installed with a restraining strap on the wall on the aircraft right side of the plane to avoid this situation on the 737-900. This problem seems to be a problem on the MAX 9 planes. I brought this attention to the pilots who brought the attention to Maintenance. The mechanic was mad saying I was going to delay the flight that was already delayed because he noticed the problem as well when he came out to inspect it. He then said it would be good to go because the emergency light is only one light. They just said it came out of the factory like that and it wasn't a problem. I find this a serious safety concern and not in compliance with FAA safety standards.  If the emergency lighting system isn't important it wouldn't have been installed.
A Flight Attendant reported one of the cabin emergency lights was not visible due to the curtain blocking it from view.
