Mr. Left Turn's light changes and he starts his turn simultaneously. Mr Left Turn now has the best visibility and should yield to the car ahead.

Timing and speed affect the outcome. Fortunately, no harm was done. If an accident did occur, both parties would have their story, but I would think the judgement would more likely put the blame on the car that was behind or made a sudden change into the lane closest to the gas station entrance.
If I was Mr. Left Turn, in this situation, I would have chosen to avoid the quick double lane switch to get into the Gas station. Right or wrong is not worth the trouble to get it resolved and get the vehicle repaired. Remember the advice, Drive Defensively.

The cope is strong!

Give it up.

He cleared that up. He had a green arrow.

Give it up.

Reality is what matters. The left turn vehicle had a green arrow. The right turn vehicle had a red light. The fact that he /she could not see the left turn arrow is irrelevant. If that driver turns right and is involved in an accident, he/she is at fault. PERIOD. Case closed.

Hard hitting facts. Some people hate that, prefering feelings, wishes, woulda-coulda...
