from June 1940 the flotilla moved to Lorient

The key word here is "from". "from" <> "in". In RL it took around a year for all boats of 2 Flotilla to move from Wilhelmshaven to Lorient. The thing to remember is that this text is merely an overview of the
flotilla's movements, not
your movements. The base dates reflect your movements as an individual boat within the flotilla.
Anyway, what was the exact message that you received? Was it:
"A new submarine base is available for operations in Lorient." (received 13-15 July)
"U 30, 52, 34, 99: Report to the port of Lorient." (received on 3 July)
"The base was changed to: Lorient" (received 1 Sep)
If it was either of the first two, ignore it. Only the last message means that your base has been changed. And in GWX and stock you will *not* get this message until midnight on 1 Sep 1940 (and only once - unlike other messages it isn't repeated).
