I wonder if you somehow have an option checked not to allow rotation.

I would suggest putting in more points, at least 5 maybe even 10, and
then look at patterns in the residuals.

What CRS is the project in?  If it were in a geographic CRS instead of a
projected (and conformal) CRS, I could see that causing problems.
Personally I tend to use a UTM zone of my national datum, or a lambert
conformal conic ("state plane").  I would expect you have some similar
CRS which fits local norms, perhaps UTM on ETRS.
