For your info TAC only backs up, somewhat slowly, what you should be doing with your feet in the event of an engine failure and as I recall it it deliberately leaves you slightly short of the required amount of trim. TAC inop or not don't throw away all you've learnt on any previous multi engine types you've flown, it still applies.

I'd ignore the nose L or R placard. On the T7, the rudder trim works in the same physical sense as any other trim control on any other aircraft...

If you are still in doubt have a think about how you trim in pitch (in terms of trim control movement) , apply that logic to rudder.
