Why is the player shooting in the wrong direction? (auto lock-on)

I've been following this Godot tutorial on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwCiGixlqiU , but I'm having issues with the gun shooting in the wrong direction. I believe I've done everything correctly, but I'm still encountering problems. Can anyone help me figure out if I made a mistake or if this is an issue with Godot?

# Bullet script
extends Area2D

const SPEED = 1000
const RANGE = 1200

var travelled_distance = 0
var direction = Vector2.RIGHT.rotated(rotation)

func _physics_process(delta):
    var movement = direction * SPEED * delta
    position += movement
    travelled_distance += movement.length()
    
    if travelled_distance > RANGE:
        queue_free()
        
func _on_body_entered(body):
    queue_free()
    if body.has_method("take_damage"):
        body.take_damage()

# Shooter script
extends Area2D

func _physics_process(delta):
    var enemies_in_range = get_overlapping_bodies()
    if enemies_in_range.size() > 0:
        var target_enemy = enemies_in_range.front()
        look_at(target_enemy.global_position)

func shoot():
    const BULLET = preload("res://scnes/bullet.tscn")
    var new_bullet = BULLET.instantiate()
    
    new_bullet.global_rotation = $Point.global_rotation
    new_bullet.global_position = $Point.global_position
    $Point.add_child(new_bullet)

func _on_timer_timeout():
    shoot()

The bullet seems to be shooting in an unexpected direction. I ensured that the direction is set correctly by rotating Vector2.RIGHT with the bullet's rotation. The shooting logic is supposed to instantiate a bullet at the correct position and rotation of the Point node. What could be causing the bullet to shoot in the wrong direction?
