I need help making VR gun recoil

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I would like to have my VR hand get sent back (or recoil) when I shoot a gun.
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I can’t figure out how to make it.
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I’ve been told that the spring module is good for this kind of stuff, but I can’t figure out how to use it
    In case you need it, this is my gun script:
local GunModule = {}
GunModule.Shoot = function(plr, hand)
	local Settings = require(script.Parent.Settings)
	local spring = require(script.Spring)
	if script.Parent.Debounce.Value == false then
		script.Parent.Debounce.Value = true
		local rayOrigin = script.Parent.Parent.Barrel.ShootingPoint.WorldPosition
		local rayDirection = script.Parent.Parent.Barrel.CFrame.LookVector * 1000
		local shotsound = script.Parent.Shot

		-- Build a "RaycastParams" object and cast the ray
		local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
		raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()
		raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
		local raycast = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, rayDirection, raycastParams)

		if raycast then
			local hitPart = raycast.Instance
			local directhit = raycast.Position
			--bullet hole supposed to hapen good
			local BulletHole = game.ReplicatedStorage.BulletHole:Clone()
			BulletHole.Parent = game.Workspace
			BulletHole.Position = directhit
			local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
			weld.Parent = BulletHole
			weld.Name = "BulletHoleWeld"
			weld.Part0 = hitPart
			weld.Part1 = BulletHole
			BulletHole.Script.Disabled = false
		end
		
		spring.new(65, 55, 25, 3.2, 1*Settings.RecoilMultiplier, 0)
		
		shotsound.TimePosition = 0
		shotsound.PlaybackSpeed = math.random(0.85, 1.15)
		shotsound:Play()
		script.Parent.Parent.MuzzleFlash.MuzzleEffect.Enabled = true
		script.Parent.Parent.MuzzleFlash.SpotLight1.Enabled = true
		script.Parent.Parent.MuzzleFlash.SpotLight2.Enabled = true
		script.Parent.Parent.MuzzleFlash.SpotLight3.Enabled = true
		wait(0.05)
		script.Parent.Parent.MuzzleFlash.MuzzleEffect.Enabled = false
		script.Parent.Parent.MuzzleFlash.SpotLight1.Enabled = false
		script.Parent.Parent.MuzzleFlash.SpotLight2.Enabled = false
		script.Parent.Parent.MuzzleFlash.SpotLight3.Enabled = false
		
		wait(Settings.FireRate-0.05)
		script.Parent.Debounce.Value = false
	end
end
return GunModule

if your gun handle is physics based, (my guns use a alignposition and a alignrotation, aldo it could work with welds to.) You can use a bodyforce to push the gun back on the handle.
