Sounds like the tiptronic gear box isn't getting the message that you want to change from auto to manual from the gear selector so I would look at that first.
If the shifter picked up the change to manual when you move it to the side then the display would be changing to show manual gears.

What year and engine size is your A8?
There are 4 parts it could be I guess -

The gear lever selector itself


The Harness for the selector lever (Item 1)


The gearbox ECU itself (item 1 on the pic below)


or possibly the F125 switch (item 7 on the pic below)




The F125 switch is something known to fail more often, but you would be best advised to plug in a diagnostic cable and this may well point you in the direction of the faulty item

Get a garage with a diagnostic machine to read the error codes to diagnose what the problem is.

I was as specific as I can be in my answer above, unless there are any differences with a Pre Facelift model then its still scan first to see if any codes come up then look for one of the 4 issues in mentioned/listed
