How to do aiming on a "viewmodel" gun

I’m trying to figure out how to aim with my viewmodel

the issue is that i take the actual arms of the character and change the motor6d to the torso of the viewmodel, i have a AimPoint in my weapon and im trying to make the whole viewmodel move so the aimpoint is in the center of the screen but i cant really figure out how to do it

i looked at alot of devforms and none of them really seemed to help me

                local offsetCF = CFrame.new(viewmodelOffset.X, viewmodelOffset.Y, -viewmodelOffset.Z)
		local swayCF = CFrame.Angles(swayOffset.y, swayOffset.x, swayOffset.x/2)
		local moveCF = movementCF
		local finalCF = camCF * offsetCF * swayCF * moveCF

		VM:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(finalCF)
		
		rightShoulder.Part0 = VM.Torso
		leftShoulder.Part0 = VM.Torso
		
		leftShoulder.C1 = _C.defaultLeftArmC1
		rightShoulder.C1 = _C.defaultRightArmC1

		leftShoulder.C0 = _C.defaultLeftArmC0
		rightShoulder.C0 = _C.defaultRightArmC0

This probably isn’t that helpful on its own but here is what you could do to make the viewmodel go to the aimPoint:

	if aiming then
		local finalAimingCFrame = (itemOffset:Inverse() * aimPoint.WorldCFrame:ToObjectSpace(viewmodel.PrimaryPart.CFrame));

		if (aimingCFrame.Position - finalAimingCFrame.Position).Magnitude >= 0 then
			aimingCFrame = aimingCFrame:Lerp(finalAimingCFrame, lerpingConstant)
		end
	else
		aimingCFrame = aimingCFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(0, 0, 0), lerpingConstant)
	end
	
	viewmodel.PrimaryPart.CFrame = camera.CFrame * aimingCFrame;

i tried piecing some of it together like the “ItemOffset” and it didn’t really help me, i also tried this method before you even gave it to me and i couldnt get it to work still either

			local aimingCFrame = tool.Handle.AimPoint.CFrame
			
			local finalAimingCFrame = (camCF:Inverse() * aimPoint.WorldCFrame:ToObjectSpace(VM.PrimaryPart.CFrame));

			if (aimingCFrame.Position - finalAimingCFrame.Position).Magnitude >= 0 then
				aimingCFrame = aimingCFrame:Lerp(finalAimingCFrame, 0.7)
			end

			VM.PrimaryPart.CFrame = camera.CFrame * aimingCFrame;
