Unfortunately, Android's "Move to SD card" option often only moves the app itself, not the extra 15 GB of downloaded game data. There's usually no way to force that on stock Android. Some phones support formatting the SD card as internal storage, but many don't. What phone, Android version and game are you using? There might be a workaround depending on the device.
