Rotating a part while it is welded to my character turns myself instead of the part and I don't know why

Sorry for the long title, but thats basically it.

ring.CFrame = char.RightHand.CFrame
local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
weld.Part0 = ring
weld.Part1 = char.RightHand
weld.Parent = ring
SpinMagicRing(ring, "y", 3, weld)

Here, I am welding the ring to the RightHand of the character. When I call SpinMagicRing, it modifies the C0 of the weld to make it rotate.

weld.C0 = weld.C0 * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(step), 0) -- step is the 3 thats passed

This is how I’m rotating it.

My issue, however, is that it spins my character and not the ring, which is the opposite of what I want. Am I supposed to change the C1 instead of the C0? Am I supposed to swap the Part0 and Part1, or maybe the parent? I don’t really know what to do past this point.

#2

Is the part welded to the humanoidrootpart?

#3

No, the ring is not welded to anything else except the RightArm.

#4

ring should be part1 and righthand should be part0

#5

Nothing changed, same result as before.

#6

can you show me how are you spinning it?

#7 
weld.C0 = weld.C0 * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(step), 0)

also added it to OP.

#8

part0 = char.RightHand
part1 = ring
like i said before
weld.C1 = weld.C1 * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(step), 0)
and change c0 with c1

#9

I set part0 to the right hand, part1 to the ring, and used C1 instead of C0 and it didnt change anything

#10

Did you make sure that ring is unanchored?

#11

Oh, that fixed it.

I didn’t know it needed to be unanchored to work, thank you lol.
