Certain part is only being detected when unanchored

I have been trying to figure out why this is only being detected by the part when it is unanchored. The part is a tool, that is suppose to be a vaccum, whenever you hold down your mouse button it spawns a little circle ray thing that is supposed to detect when it hits the other part.

Here is my code:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local backPackTrash = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BackPackTrash")
local beamClone = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ClonedRay"):Clone()

local starterTrashAmount = 5
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false
end)

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if equipped then
		beamClone.Parent = script.Parent
	end
end)


mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
	if equipped then
		beamClone.Parent = nil
	end
end)


--variable
local givenCash = false
--Loops through all the trash
for _, trash1 in pairs(game.Workspace.Trash1:GetChildren()) do
	--Sets the TargetFilter
	mouse.TargetFilter = trash1

	if trash1:GetAttribute("Garbage") then -- checks the trash if it's Garbage

		--it's garbage
		trash1.HitPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			print(hit)
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then

				print("Going to destroy")
				if not mouse.Hit.Position.Magnitude == trash1.HitPart.Position.Magnitude then return end
				wait(1)
				trash1:Destroy()

				if givenCash == false then
					givenCash = true
					player.leaderstats.Cash.Value += starterTrashAmount
					local trash1Clone = backPackTrash.TestBackPackTrash:Clone()
					trash1Clone.Parent = player.Character["Starter Backpack"]
					trash1Clone.Position = player.Character["Starter Backpack"].Handle.Position + Vector3.new(0,1,0)
				end
				wait(0.4)
				givenCash = false
			else
				print("Not a valid part")
			end

		end)
	end
end

--Infinite loop
while true do
	wait()

	--checks if the beamClone is real
	if beamClone ~= nil then
		--Updates position
		beamClone.Position = mouse.Hit.Position

		--Some checking if it's in range
		if (player.Character:WaitForChild("UpperTorso").Position - mouse.Hit.Position).Magnitude >= 32 then
			--not in range, make it vanish
			beamClone.Transparency = 1
			beamClone.CanTouch = false
		else
			--in range, make it appear
			beamClone.Transparency = 0
			beamClone.CanTouch = true
		end
	end


end

Touched event documentation:

This event only fires as a result of physics movement, so it will not fire if the CFrame property was changed such that the part overlaps another part. This also means that at least one of the parts involved must not be BasePart.Anchored at the time of the collision.

Must be physics movement hence unanchored.

Use other part detection methods for otherwise, raycast, region3 or the newer special queries.
