How to update ModuleScript's values?

Any idea how to update value in ModuleScript across all clients?
My scripts are:
ModuleScript

Tune = {}

Tune.T_Boost = 15

return Tune

LocalScript1

local car = script.Parent.Car.Value
local _Tune = require(car["A-Chassis Tune"])
local Tune = _Tune

frame.T_Boost.FocusLost:Connect(function()
	if tonumber(frame.T_Boost.Text) then
		Tune.T_Boost = tonumber(frame.textBox.Text)
	else
		frame.T_Boost.Text = "Invalid Value"
	end
end)

frame.Apply.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if frame.T_Boost.Text == "Invalid Value" then
		return
	else
		car.DriveSeat.RemoteEvent:FireServer("Apply", Tune)
		gui:Destroy()
	end
end)

Script1

local car = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local _Tune = require(car["A-Chassis Tune"])

script.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(F, Tune)
	if F == "Apply" then
		for i, v in pairs(Tune) do -- this doesnt update the value on the client side, why?
			_Tune[i] = v
		end
	end
end)

You’re not setting the value on the client, you’re setting it on the server.

ModuleScripts don’t replicate. The client and server each have their own separate space.

I would recommend adding a OnClientEvent on the client to receive feedback from the server, and using :FireAllClients() on the server to fire to every client.

Client:

local car = script.Parent.Car.Value
local _Tune = require(car["A-Chassis Tune"])
local Tune = _Tune

frame.T_Boost.FocusLost:Connect(function()
	if tonumber(frame.T_Boost.Text) then
		Tune.T_Boost = tonumber(frame.textBox.Text)
	else
		frame.T_Boost.Text = "Invalid Value"
	end
end)

frame.Apply.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if frame.T_Boost.Text == "Invalid Value" then
		return
	else
		car.DriveSeat.RemoteEvent:FireServer("Apply", Tune)
		gui:Destroy()
	end
end)
-- NEW:
car.DriveSeat.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(F, Tune)
	if F == "Apply" then 
		for i, v in pairs(Tune) do 
			_Tune[i] = v
		end
	end
end)

Server:

local car = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local _Tune = require(car["A-Chassis Tune"])

script.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(F, Tune)
	if F == "Apply" then
		for i, v in pairs(Tune) do -- this doesnt update the value on the client side, why?
			_Tune[i] = v
		end
		-- NEW:
		script.RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(F, Tune);
	end
end)

sorry for late response but i couldnt test it out

also i forgot to mention that the car has 2nd localscript which handles the physics on client, so i went the remotefunction way. the thing is that i think that i might have messed something up cause it doesnt work the way it should
so what i did is:
LocalScript1

frame.Apply.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	car.DriveSeat.Manage.RemoteEvent:FireServer("Apply", T)
end

LocalScript2 - this script runs whenever a player enters the seat because its cloned with gui so it runs from the beginning. why i decided to do it this way is because your method would only work for players that were in the game when the event fired

local _Tune car.DriveSeat.RemoteFunction:InvokeServer(require(car["A-Chassis Tune"])

Script1

script.Apply.OnServerInvoke = function(player, T)
	for i, v in pairs (_Tune) do
		T[i] = v
	end
	return T
end

nevermind, there was a typo. it seems to be working on client. will check rq if it does work on other clients
edit: yup, everything works as intended, your previous solution was correct, thanks
