This has been a long running known issue for the Active Tools when using right click select.

Issue

On RCS, the Tweak Tool in the toolbar is placing the 3D Cursor instead of tweaking elements.
This duplicates the behaviour of the Cursor Tool (right next to it in the toolbar).

The reason for this seemed to be that right click & drag is already using the tweak action.
If the Tweak Tool would tweak with left & right click then there is no way of setting the 3D cursor anymore.

But the Tweak Tool doesn't require the 3D cursor. And this workaround is breaking the tweak tools purpose.

Solution

The Tweak Tool needs to tweak with left click & drag.
This can be it's own keymap item in the preferences under the Tweak Tool.
Right click & drag can still use the default tweak action in the preferences.

The benefits are:

The Tweak Tool can be used without a drag threshold with left click & drag, if the option "Alt Cursor Access" enabled in the preferences
There is a functional distinction between the Tweak Tool and the Cursor Tool.
