Given the Moon’s geosyncrhonous orbit, the site of that crater facing Earth means that the 150 mile wide asteroid that created it had a very near miss with Earth. That is, unless the impact of the asteroid didn’t somehow set the Moon reeling and it then settled into geosynchronous orbit.

"...Given the Moon’s geosynchronous orbit..."

I believe you are conflating "geosynchronous orbit" with "tidal locking".

The Moon is NOT in a geosynchronous orbit. A geosynchronous orbit has the property where the satellite appears to be stationary in the sky when viewed from the ground. It appears to magically "hang" there, since it's orbital period matches the Earth's rotation of 24 hours.

The Moon takes about 28 days to orbit the Earth, and on any given day, you will find it in different places in the sky. The Moon also takes about 28 days to rotate on its own axis, so it always shows the same face to the Earth. This is "tidal locking".

That said, some 3.8 billion years ago, Earth's rotation was much faster, the Moon orbited closer to the Earth, and probably had a faster rotation then as well, and was not yet tidally locked. So the big asteroid that smashed into the Moon may have come in at nearly any angle relative to the Earth, there would be no way to know with any certainty.
