I've been calculating my LAT for the past 3hrs but I just can't figure why my math is incorrectly. Could someone please help me out?

I'm using Tutorial TDC as my mission(TWOS), starting location is 46.41N , 15.10W

My math below:
1/1/1941, sun's highest point is at 9am local or 10am GMT.
Sextant Altitude=56.31, DEC is S23.04
ZD=89.60-56.31=33.29
Latitude=33.29-23.04=N10.25

What have I done wrong here? Why is my LAT 10.25N instead of 46.41

Any help would be appreciated!
