Just turning the scope doesn't update the bearing in the TDC. You have to click the red button to send the new scope bearing to the TDC.
Another thing to keep in mind is that by the time the target is 20 degrees to your right, his AOB is no longer 90, its 110.

If the target speed is set to 0 on the TDC the torpedo will go where you are looking, provided you have clicked the button to send your current periscope bearing to it.
If the target speed is greater than 0 the torp will lead the target so it hits, so it won't go down the bearing you are looking.
