Don't do that!
I know it looks bad on the map, but the waypoints for Kiel In and Out are correct. I did that very thing, "fixed" the errant waypoints, many moons ago and ran aground (catastrophically!) in the Kanal every time afterward.
It sounds like you made one common error...the preplanned routes start in the Kanal after you've completed getting through the locks at Holtenau and Brunsbuttel. Did you manually navigate to the first waypoint in the Kanal and then apply the "auto-pilot" course generator?
You should not conn your boat close to the initial waypoint and then select the "auto-pilot"...you can get lucky and that works sometimes, but it's better by far to manually put down waypoints to the preplanned tracks' initial points and then activate the "auto-pilot" track.
Hope this helps...get out there and sink 'em all!
