Hi, I have a placement system however when trying to place items it’s not actually placing them where users move thier cursor or tap on the screen it’s placing them half way across the other side of the world. Could you assist on helping me fix why this is happening. I’ve gone through and it looks correct to me but its not 
--placement event for blocks
local function onPlaceEvent(player, blockName, position, rotation)
print("onPlaceEvent triggered", player.Name, blockName, position, rotation)
print("PlaceEvent received from client:", player.Name, blockName, position, rotation) -- Debug message
-- Ensure position and rotation are valid before proceeding
if not position or not rotation then
warn("Position or rotation is nil for onPlaceEvent.")
return
end
local plotIdentifier = playerPlots[player.UserId]
if not plotIdentifier then
warn("Plot identifier not found for the player.")
return
end
local plot = game.Workspace.Plots:FindFirstChild(plotIdentifier)
if not plot then
warn("Plot not found.")
return
end
local builder = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("Builder")
local blockFound = findBlockInGroups(builder, blockName)
if blockFound then
local blockToPlace = blockFound:Clone()
local targetPosition = plot.Position + Vector3.new(position.X, position.Y, position.Z)
local targetRotation = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(rotation.X), math.rad(rotation.Y), math.rad(rotation.Z))
local newCFrame = CFrame.new(targetPosition) * targetRotation
blockToPlace:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(newCFrame)
blockToPlace.Parent = plot
-- Anchoring logic for Model or Part
if blockToPlace:IsA("Model") then
for _, part in pairs(blockToPlace:GetDescendants()) do
if part:IsA("Part") then
part.Anchored = true
end
end
elseif blockToPlace:IsA("Part") then
blockToPlace.Anchored = true
end
-- Update the player's blocks list
if not playerBlocks[player.UserId] then
playerBlocks[player.UserId] = {}
end
table.insert(playerBlocks[player.UserId], blockToPlace)
-- Debug statements to check block status
print("Block placed in plot:", blockToPlace, plot)
print("Block position after placement:", blockToPlace.PrimaryPart.Position)

that was the server side script and then this is the client script:

if raycastResult then

previewBlock:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(placementPosition))
end
end

updatePreview()
any help with this would be awesome. Thank you.
