I can't figure out your picture, either. It seems that the contact is some 30 degrees to the starboard side and that your true course is something like 224. The sound man should be reporting a contact bearing 30 degrees. Are you sure your sound man knows what he's doing? The clock on your screenshots says 0456 and the sonar man's report says 0454. Are you sure you haven't changed course during that 2 minute gap?

I don't see those sonar lines and own submarine's course lines that you have in your picture, in my game, as I play with the contacts off option, so maybe someone else can help you out here.

But you might try this, to make things clearer: You seem to be running GWX. I suggest you zoom in (in the navigation window, F5) all the way to your submarine until a ring with bearings appears. This ring shows relative bearings. If the contact's sonar line crosses at 90, then his bearing is 90, he should be exactly on your right / starboard side, and the soundman should report a contact, bearing 90.
