Hello! I’ve recently made a custom camera script, and with it there’s custom turning that allows the player to look around in a small area around themselves. Thing is, with this camera, whenever the character looks in diagonal directions, the camera seems to tilt a bit.

[Apologies for the low quality video]
As shown in the video, the camera seems to tilt, and I’d like to see if there’s a way to have it replicate the normal roblox camera a bit more. I’m assuming how I’d fix this would be by adding a math equation to the z coordinate of the CFrame.Angles that would accommodate for both the x and y.
--The line that determines the angle of the camera. As you can see the z coordinate isn't changed.
Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(-DistanceY/TurnConstraint,-DistanceX/TurnConstraint,0)
How would I be able to accomplish this? Any help would be appreciated. Below is the full camera script so you can get a better understanding of how the camera works.
--Variables that you can edit to your liking.
local KeyboardKeybind = Enum.KeyCode.X --Standard keybind stuff. Very simple to change.
local ControllerKeybind = Enum.KeyCode.ButtonX --Refer to previous comment.
local EnableMobileButton = true --You can turn off the mobile button if you wanna make your own custom one.
local AllowRotate = true --Enable/Disable the camera rotation
local TurnConstraint = 2 --Changes how far you can turn your camera (increasing the number decreases the amount it can turn)
local ButtonImage = "rbxassetid://247421264" --Sets the image of the mobile button. If you don't want one leave it as ""
local ButtonTitle = "" --Adds a title to the mobile button. Blank by default but to add one just type in anything between the ""
local ButtonAdjustsWithJumpButton = true --If turned to false, the mobile button will adjust according to it's default position. Changing the ButtonPosition variable would be suggested if setting this to false.
local ButtonPosition = UDim2.new(0,60, 0,0) --You can manually change the position of the default button here, although be warned, it is really wonky.
