It does not seem possible to designate a mac address when provisioning a
vmware compute resource. I set one in the interface and it overrides it
upon creating the vm in vmware. Am I doing something incorrectly or is
this working as designed?

This is working as designed. For vSphere and most compute resources,
Foreman expects to the compute resource itself to generate a MAC address
automatically when the VM is created, then it retrieves the value,
stores and uses it for DHCP etc.
You could file a feature request, similar to one we have for Libvirt
already (Feature #13089: Support specifying interface MAC address during VM creation - Foreman).
