Pathfinding to a players position

Hi, I have followed a tutorial and have an NPC that follows the player - it works fine, but I want the NPC to stand behind the player and to the right (instead of directly behind the player).

How would I do this? I have tried adding Vector3.new(x,y,z) to the destination, but it doesn’t seem to work.

    local RIGHT_offset = HUMANOID_root_part.CFrame.RightVector * 5
    local BACK_offset = HUMANOID_root_part.CFrame.LookVector * -5
    
    local DESTINATION = playerCFrame.Position + rightOffset + backOffset
   
    NPC.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(destination, playerHRP.Position)

You could use CFrame: Code snippet example ^

The function that creates the path is:

local function getPath(player, destination)
	
	local pathData = 
		{
			AgentRadius = 1,
			WaypointSpacing	= 4
		}
	
	local newPath:Path = PathService:CreatePath(pathData)
	
	newPath:ComputeAsync(humRp.Position, destination)
	
	return newPath
end

And this is what makes the NPC walk

local function walk(destination: Vector3)
	if not target then return end
	if not target.Character then return end
	
	path = getPath(destination)
	
	local currWaypoint = 1
	
	if DISPLAY_PATH then
		displayPath(path:GetWaypoints())
	end
	
	

	humanoid:MoveTo(humRp.Position)

	local oldPath = path
	
	if isPlayerClose() then
		
	else
		if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
			for index, waypoint in pairs(path:GetWaypoints()) do

				if index == 1 then
					continue
				end

				if oldPath ~= path then
					break
				end

				local detected = detectParts()
				if detected then
					local normal = detected.Normal

					humanoid:MoveTo(humRp.Position + normal * 2)
					task.wait(.15)
				end

				currWaypoint += 1


				if #path:GetWaypoints() <= 0 then
					break
				end

				humanoid:MoveTo(path:GetWaypoints()[currWaypoint].Position)
				humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()


			end
		end
	end
	
	
end

I have tried using Vector3, CFrame, it just doesn’t work when I add it (the NPC stops moving or just doesnt do anything differently) and I don’t know where to edit it.
