The Mk48 Adcap should definitely be able to home in on the target. But if it does depends on if it is in "enabled" state, or if it is prohibited by it's launch parameters like floor and ceiling depth. It automatically goes to enabled state if it passes the "Run to Enable" range away from your sub. Or you can manually switch it to enable state by a button on the Torpedo Fire Control station. Maybe it hasn't reached the default enable range yet

If it is actually launched as a passive homing torpedo then it might be to fast to detect the target. Speed should be reduced before launching.

Iirc SCX also added some doctrine code to give the Mk48 different search mode, dependant on how often the torpedo enable state was changed by the button. You should read the SCX documentation to be sure. I forgot the details on this.
