Programming the correct arrival Vectors for KATL

Howdy folks! First post here! I've been flying the Fly by wire A320 in FS2020 for a couple of months now, and I've hit a snag in programming the MCDU for the HOBTT 2 Arrival into KATL. I had to embarrassingly request radar vectors from the very friendly controller manning Atlanta Approach :). Here's the issue: 

When flying the HOBTT 2 RNAV Arrival, with the ILS 27L Approach at KATL, the MCDU automatically sends me on the north side of the field via the RAIIN waypoint, where it should send me via EAGYL south of the field (at least according to the HOBTT 2 Arrival chart). Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong here/anything I'm missing? I've included the chart here: https://imgur.com/oSTc3ml ... and a screenshot of the MCDU https://imgur.com/jIudTgE

To give some context as to what I'm doing in the MCDU, I am selecting the Destination of KATL, selecting the approach of ILS27L, Selecting the transition of ORRKK, the STAR as HOBTT 2, and selecting VIA as none (FWIW, selecting any of the available VIAs does not change the end result).

Am I missing something obvious, or is this just a bug/deficiency in the MCDU for this aircraft that I need to plan around (entering the waypoints manually)?

I would say it is a bug. I do not know if FBW have their own FMGS software or using MSFS one. Selecting NONE as VIA and getting ROMMM sounds also strange.
