Trying to make a raycasting beam function with tweens

I am trying to make a tool with a base attachment point and a free-floating attachment point, where the free-floating attachment takes the CFrame returned by the ray cast from the base attachment to the mouse location. I am trying to follow a Roblox tutorial (https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/scripting/intermediate-scripting/hit-detection-with-lasers#toolcontroller) to get an idea of how to make the tool and raycast functions work, but I am only getting a print message that the initial ray cast hit nothing.
My code is pasted here:

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")

local tool = script.Parent
local maxmouse = 1000
local maxbeam = 500

local soundservice = game.SoundService
local Equip = soundservice["Boom (SFX)"]

local rayattachment = tool:FindFirstChild("AttachmentRaycast")
local movingattachment = tool:FindFirstChild("AttachmentBeam")

--Tracker 

local function getWorldMousePosition()
	local mouselocation = UserInputService:GetMouseLocation()
	local rayorigin = workspace.CurrentCamera:ViewportPointToRay(mouselocation.X, mouselocation.Y)
	local rayorient = rayorigin.Direction * maxmouse
	local raycastresult = workspace:Raycast(rayorigin.Origin, rayorient)
	if raycastresult then
		print("I hit something")
		return raycastresult.Position
	else
		print("I hit nothing")
		return rayorigin.Origin + rayorient
	end
end

local function findattachmentpoint()
	local mousefinal = getWorldMousePosition()
	local targetDirection = (mousefinal - tool.Handle.Position).Unit
	local attachvector = targetDirection * maxbeam
	local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Players.LocalPlayer.Character, tool}
	local finalraycastresult = workspace:Raycast(tool.Handle.Position, attachvector, raycastParams)
	if finalraycastresult then
		return finalraycastresult.CFrame
	else
		return tool.Handle.Position + attachvector
	end
end

local function scanray()
	local finalraycast = findattachmentpoint()
	local waittime = 0.1
	local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(waittime)
	local tweentable = {CFrame = movingattachment.CFrame + Vector3.new(finalraycast.CFrame.X, finalraycastresult.CFrame.Y, finalraycastresult.CFrame.Z)}
	tweenservice:Create(movingattachment, tweeninfo,tweentable)
	:Play()
	task.wait(waittime) do
	end
end

local function toolEquipped()
	active = true
	Equip:Play()
	while active == true do
		wait()
		getWorldMousePosition()
	end
end

local function toolUnequipped()
	active = false
end

I am honestly completely unsure (as a very amateur coder) as to why the first raycast is never hitting anything, any input is greatly appreciated!
