Slash VFX Not Working Properly

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

What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to make a slash VFX that properly orientates around the user.
What is the issue? Include enough details if possible!
The slash VFX orientation is not working as it should.
What solutions have you thought of so far?
I’ve tried getting the position and orientation of both the user and the VFX and they still turn out the same.

Here’s the VFX:

Here’s the script that fires for client for VFX (User is the c)

elseif effect == "BasicSlash" then
	local zanSlash = RS.VFX.ZanSlash:Clone()
	zanSlash.Parent = user
	
	zanSlash.CFrame = user.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -0.2)
	
	local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	weld.Part0 = zanSlash
	weld.Part1 = user.HumanoidRootPart
	weld.Parent = zanSlash
	
	print("P Pos: "..tostring(user.HumanoidRootPart.Position).." P Orien:"..tostring(user.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation))
	print("Z Pos: "..tostring(zanSlash.Position).." Z Orien:"..tostring(zanSlash.Orientation))
		
	wait(0.0001)
	zanSlash.A1.Slash:Emit(1)
	zanSlash.A1.Slash1:Emit(1)
	zanSlash.A2.BlackShard:Emit(1)
	zanSlash.A2.BlackShards1:Emit(5)
	zanSlash.A2.Shard:Emit(1)
	zanSlash.A2.Shards:Emit(5)
	zanSlash.A2.Shards1:Emit(5)
	zanSlash.A2.Specs:Emit(5)
	
	Debris:AddItem(zanSlash, 2)
elseif effect == "BasicSlash2" then
	local zanSlash = RS.VFX.ZanSlash:Clone()
	zanSlash.Parent = user

	zanSlash.CFrame = user.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -0.2)

	local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	weld.Part0 = zanSlash
	weld.Part1 = user.HumanoidRootPart
	weld.Parent = zanSlash
	
	zanSlash.A1.Slash.ShapeInOut = Enum.ParticleEmitterShapeInOut.Outward
	zanSlash.A1.Slash1.ShapeInOut = Enum.ParticleEmitterShapeInOut.Outward
	
	print("P Pos: "..tostring(user.HumanoidRootPart.Position).." P Orien:"..tostring(user.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation))
	print("Z Pos: "..tostring(zanSlash.Position).." Z Orien:"..tostring(zanSlash.Orientation))
	
	wait(0.0001)
	zanSlash.A1.Slash:Emit(1)
	zanSlash.A1.Slash1:Emit(1)
	zanSlash.A2.BlackShard:Emit(1)
	zanSlash.A2.BlackShards1:Emit(5)
	zanSlash.A2.Shard:Emit(1)
	zanSlash.A2.Shards:Emit(5)
	zanSlash.A2.Shards1:Emit(5)
	zanSlash.A2.Specs:Emit(5)

	Debris:AddItem(zanSlash, 2)

Here’s the script that fires the client

if combo == 1 or combo == 3 or combo == 5 then
	effectEvent:FireAllClients("BasicSlash", nil, char, nil)
elseif combo == 2 or combo == 4 then
	effectEvent:FireAllClients("BasicSlash2", nil, char, nil)
end
