I’m wiring a type 2 surge protector and want to surface mount it on the drywall here with the cables going into the drywall and then into a breakout in the panel. What kind of conduit elbow can I get to hide the wires entering the drywall that will screw onto the threads on the surge protector? Thanks

Yep, that's the kind. Take the device to the store so you can enssure the threads are a match and then use the silver nut to position the elbow 90° to the wall. Just make sure to get the conduit and fittings you'll need to get it through the wall and into the distribution panel as well. No point in doing it halfway.
