The MouseClick event fires with the player who clicked it. Access the Character property from it:

local clickDetector = script.Parent
local function onClick(player)
    print(player.Character:GetFullName())
end
clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClick)

local clickDetector = script.Parent

clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character
	if character then
		local leftArm = character:WaitForChild("Left Arm")
		if leftArm then
			local attach = Instance.new("Attachment")
			attach.Parent = leftArm
			--change other properties of attachment here
		end
	end
end)

Put this script into your ClickDetector

local ClickDetector = script.Parent
ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
-- Checks if player touched it
   if player:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
      print(Humanoid.Parent.Name)
   end
-- Checks if player touched it, but by an avatar item
   if player.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
      print(Humanoid.Parent.Name)
   end
end)
