2d Raycasting, trouble drawing rays at the correct angles

I hate asking for help, but I've been at this for a couple hours last night and today and still running into troubles.. Im trying to work on 2d steering and obstacle avoidance using raycasts. The trouble is the angles of my rays and drawing them. I'm trying to get 3 rays, a center, and a left and right each offset by X degrees (say 20 degrees).. which seems to work fine IF the transform is NOT rotated. As soon as a rotation is applied, my left and right rays always seem to go askew..

This seems like it should be simple, but for some reason I am just struggling here.. and transform.forward always points back behind the scene hence the use of transform.right.. I don't think that should matter, but.. What am I missing (aka doing wrong) & what can I do to CORRECTLY aim and draw my rays in the desired direction even when the transform is rotated?

Heres the entire code in its CURRENT form.. which is revision 9,120,100,203.. or it feels like it.. I appreciate any help!

             {
                 rightHit = true;
                 Debug.Log("Right - " + rHit.collider);
             }
         }
 
 
         if (!centerHit)
             Debug.DrawRay(transform.localPosition, transform.right * 3f, Color.yellow);
         else
             Debug.DrawRay(transform.localPosition, transform.right * 3f, Color.red);

         else
