Help making a part rotate through the mouse

So I am making a part where you rotate it with the mouse. The code I have works, but not in the way I want it to. I want it to be able to rotate, but stay in front of the player.
what happens

this is the code:

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.MousePosition.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, mouseHit)
		beam.Position = character.Torso.Position + character.Torso.CFrame.lookVector * 15
		beam.CFrame = beam.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(mouseHit.x, mouseHit.y, mouseHit.z)
		beam.Position = character.Torso.Position + character.Torso.CFrame.lookVector * 15
	end)

can anyone help me?

So you want to have the Beam start from the Hand of the player and rotate trough the position the mouse is clicking or stay, i’m not 100% sure but i think this could help

I modified the code to my parts, but this happens

code:

local function ConvertToVec2(Vector)
		local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
		local screenSize = Camera.ViewportSize
		Vector = (Vector2.new(Vector.X, Vector.Y) - screenSize/2) * (2/screenSize)
		return Vector3.new(Vector.X, -Vector.Y, 0)
	end
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.MousePosition.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
		local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
		local CenterPos = ConvertToVec2(Camera:WorldToScreenPoint(character.HumanoidRootPart.Position))
		local Position = ConvertToVec2(UIS:GetMouseLocation())

		local Difference = Position - CenterPos
		local Angle = math.atan(Difference.X/Difference.Y)
		if Position.Y > CenterPos.Y then
			Angle = Angle + math.rad(180)
		end

		beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(character.HumanoidRootPart.Position) * CFrame.fromAxisAngle(Vector3.FromNormalId(Enum.NormalId.Front), Angle) * CFrame.new(0, -beam.Size.Y/2, 0)
	end)
