No.
The directions indicate the drain saddle "should be installed above the trap", but better wording would be "should be installed before the trap".

You got any ideas what can I do here?
It appears you have a single bowl kitchen sink with a garbage disposal, right? You may try to find a longer disposal discharge elbow like this.
This may allow you enough room to install your drain saddle on the horizontal part of the outlet tube. There are also horizontal disposal outlet tubes for disposals. In either case, you will need to rework the P-trap and move it farther to the right in your picture. You can possibly play with the trap arm length and even rotate the garbage disposal some to allow this all to fit.
Good luck.

Yes I have single bowl kitchen sink. Is it possible to extend those pipes somehow and install drain saddle there?

I'm afraid not. A P-trap has to have at least 2" of water depth, but no more than 4".
I was just thinking, what does the line look like that attaches to that saddle drain?
As it is a forced drain from the RO system, perhaps you could find fittings that would allow you to hook the drain line into the dishwasher line going into the disposal. All you would need is a tee, hose clamps, and an adapter that would attach the drain line to the hose tee. If you put it so the drain enters the dishwasher hose from the top, that would be best.

that is the only photo I got right now. Do you know what kind of tee and adapter would be good? Can I find it at home depot?I originally was thinking rubber couplings and a barbed tee.

or:
But you would need to get some type of adapter for the hose to attach to the top of the tee.
An easier approach would be using a couple of these PVC adapters instead of the barbed tee. Glue a short length of PVC pipe between these adapters and the drain saddle could be installed in that short run. You just need to confirm the correct sizes and I would expect Home Depot would have what you need.
Good Luck.
