Attempt to set X axis of a part to X of another

Hi, So I am making a space oriented game where the ship moves in 3 directions: forward left and right. (turning not possible) Basically similar to the 2018 egg hunt game speedlands. I have the following code:

local steer = script.Parent.Parent.Forcearea.BodySteer
local Seat = script.Parent
local steerspot = CFrame.new()
local forcebrick = script.Parent.Parent.Forcearea
Seat.Changed:Connect(function(move)
   if move == "ThrottleFloat" then
   	movement.Force = Vector3.new(0,0,-400000 * Seat.ThrottleFloat)
   	if Seat.ThrottleFloat < 0 then
   		movement.Force = Vector3.new(0,0,-300000 * Seat.ThrottleFloat)
   	end	
   	else
   	
   	movement.Force = Vector3.new(0,0,-100000 * Seat.ThrottleFloat)
   	
   end	
   	if move == "SteerFloat" then
   	steer.Force = Vector3.new(100000*Seat.SteerFloat,0,0)
   	steerspot.Position = Vector3.new(forcebrick.Position)
   end
   	
end)

I’m setting Cframes so that I can use a bodyposition to dampen steering movements since there is no on-ground friction. However this code is giving me the error: Position cannot be assigned to: on this line

steerspot.Position = Vector3.new(forcebrick.Position)

Would be appreciated if someone leads me in the right direction to solve the issue.
Thanks,

Leave it like that

steerspot.Position = forcebrick.Position

Same error sadly. I’ve just tried it

Wait, I didn’t see that it was steerspot, CFrame.Position is not an editable property.

local Pos = forcebrick.Position
local C = {steerspot:GetComponents()}
steerspot = CFrame.new(Pos.X,Pos.Y,Pos.Z,C[4],C[5],C[6],C[7],C[8],C[9],C[10],C[11],C[12])

there are other ways to change the position of a CFrame while keeping its rotation.
