PC Rotating blocks, am I doing it wrong?

Yup, most blocks have 90-degree rotations. N,E,S,W only. You could use a ramp block there to better match the direction you want, but building from those is a bit more complex.

 
If you enable creative, find something like one of the vending machines. Then those blocks have a 45 degree rotation, place one somewhere random and switch back to your wood block and finally mouse over the vending machine and "copy block rotation" with the wood block and it will face the direction you want. Might have to place 4 vending machines to find the right rotation for the wood block. However while this should do what you want, you probably won't want it when you see it. It won't work like you think it would and placing blocks next to each other to make a wall at a 45 degree angle will have large gaps in-between each block since it isn't an intended rotation.

It's super janky, you have to float about the vending machines to get the option to copy their rotation and as you can see it doesn't look pretty.😂

Yeah, using 45 or 60 degree ramps will work, but can be a pain to build with.  You can always dig the water out some and make it square with your blocks and just fill it in with more water if needed.

 
There are ramp blocks that do that just fine.  Why do you want to use the block shape rather than the corner one that is made for that purpose?
