I'd choose between the 1st and the 3rd

Google hits:
3,730 for "make it look not like" make it appear different from
630 for "make it not look like" make it not appear like

and select the first.

HI! First, thank you for answering it!!

But I still wonder which is grammatically correct......

I've encountered some similar situations.

They all relate to "NOT"

Like " It's too hard for me not to call
