Hello,
that is correct, the download location can't be changed. Mods from Steam Workshop are downloaded by Steam client and it stores them where it sees fit. There is no way to change that. The mod storage path in Launcher is now applies only to a few "legacy" Workshop mods.

Up until the patch 1.60, the mods were copied to the folder you have selected in Launcher settings. Since 1.60 mods are no longer copied to Arma folder and Launcher uses mods directly from the place where Steam client downloads them (and before you ask: no, we can't move them otherwise Steam client would re-downloaded them on its own eventually).
