Weld suspends player into the air for a short period of time

Having a problem where when I weld this part to the player, the player suspends from the ground. Of course, they fall back down but I don’t want this to happen and it can be abused in my context. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is my code:

local function showKillzone(target)
	
	if target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		
		if selectedTarget == target.Parent then return end
		if selectedTarget then
			removeSelected()
		end
		
		local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target.Parent)
		if not player then return end
		
		print(player.Name)
		
		--[[local rankInGroup = player:GetRankInGroup(groupID)
		local studSize = getKillzoneStudSize(rankInGroup)
		
		if not studSize then return end
		
		print(studSize)--]]
		
		local char = target.Parent
		
		local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
		local HRP = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if not HRP then return end
		
		local clone = Parts.Killzone:Clone()
		clone.CanCollide = false
		clone.Parent = char
		--clone.Size = Vector3.new(studSize, killzoneThickness, studSize)
		clone.Size = Vector3.new(7, killzoneThickness, 7)
		clone.CFrame = HRP.CFrame

		weld.Part0 = clone
		weld.Part1 = HRP
		weld.C0 = clone.CFrame
		weld.C1 = HRP.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -2.75, 0)
		weld.Parent = HRP
		
		selectedTarget = target.Parent
	else
		if selectedTarget and workspace:FindFirstChild(selectedTarget.Name) then
			removeSelected()
		end
	end
end

Try setting all the Properties of the killzone first, then parenting it to the char.

Unfortunately, that didn’t work. I put line clone.Parent = char after I set the weld’s parent. Still having the same problem, though.
