Tides on a Super Close In Moon

I have a moon covered in liquid water that orbits a super-Earth very closely. As you might imagine, the tides are incredibly strong on this moon. However, it is tidally locked and so does not experience tides like Earth does but, I'm unsure about one aspect of this.

Would the extreme tides cause the water to permanently drain around the side of the moon (forming a ring of land that wrapped around the world) and raise sea levels around where the Prime Meridian and equator meet, as well as on the opposite side of the moon?

The planet is 2.55 times the mass of Earth while the moon in 0.107 Earth masses and orbits at a distance of 82,300 km.
