How do I make an arrow constantly point to a position using its Y Axis Orentation

So I am trying to make an Arrow that will rotate the Y Axis according to the Pos argument. I Chose Y Axis because it seems to be rotating the arrow the correct way. If that’s confusing too you I’m trying to make an arrow similar to the pizza job in bloxburg. An Arrow that smoothly rotates according to a position.

I can’t seem to point the arrow correctly I used several methods and either push the arrow too far or not show the arrow at all

I’ve tried some solutions like Lerping but it goes way off into the map

Lerping Method

function CreateWaypoint(Destroy, Pos)
	if Destroy then
		local existingArrow = char:FindFirstChild("Arrow")
		if existingArrow then
			existingArrow:Destroy()
		end
	end

	local Arrow = Objects.Arrow:Clone()
	Arrow.Parent = char
	Arrow.Anchored = false

	local Motor6d = Instance.new("Motor6D", Arrow)
	Motor6d.Part0 = char.Head
	Motor6d.Part1 = Arrow

	Motor6d.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0) -- Initial position relative to the character's head
	Motor6d.C1 = CFrame.new(-0.0260685384, 0.0260690004, -1.74875546, -0.707106173, -8.40013854e-07, 0.707107842, 0.707107961, 5.41995234e-07, 0.707106352, -9.77227273e-07, 1, 2.10732296e-07) -- Initial orientation

	local targetCFrame = CFrame.new(Pos.p, char.Head.Position) -- Calculate the target CFrame using the position 'Pos' and the arrow's current position

	-- Function to interpolate (lerp) between two CFrames smoothly
	local function lerpCFrame(cf1, cf2, alpha)
		return cf1:Lerp(cf2, alpha)
	end

	local alpha = 0.05 -- Smoothing factor

	while task.wait() do
		Motor6d.C1 = lerpCFrame(Motor6d.C1, targetCFrame, alpha)
	end
end

Orginal Code I need help on

function CreateWaypoint(Destroy, Pos)
	if Destroy then char:FindFirstChild("Arrow"):Destroy() end
	local Arrow=Objects.Arrow:Clone()
	Arrow.Parent=char
	Arrow.Anchored=false
	local Motor6d=Instance.new("Motor6D",Arrow)
	Motor6d.Part0=char.Head
	Motor6d.Part1=Arrow
	Motor6d.C0=CFrame.new(0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1 ) ---- The large numbers is to keep the motor6d above the head
	Motor6d.C1=CFrame.new(-0.0260685384, 0.0260690004, -1.74875546, -0.707106173, -8.40013854e-07, 0.707107842, 0.707107961, 5.41995234e-07, 0.707106352, -9.77227273e-07, 1, 2.10732296e-07)
	while task.wait() do
		local TargetRoationPos ---- This were the Y Axis value will be
		Motor6d.C1=Motor6d.C1*CFrame.fromOrientation(0,0.1,0) ----- This will were the Y Axis orentation will be updated according to the positon
	end
end
