Viewmodel glitching when I play the equip animation?

Hard to explain exactly what’s going on so I’ll just include a reference. (ignore the end)

I’ve tried:

calling LoadAnimation beforehand
creating rig upon tool creation
checking if animation.length is greater than 0 before playing the animation
setting up a promise mechanic to return the animation when it’s length is > 0

Code: (is a bit of a mess right now as I’ve been just sticking random attempts of fixing it in)

function FPSController:RetrieveRigGrip()
    local rig = self.rig
    local rigGrip = rig.HumanoidRootPart.Handle
    return rigGrip
end

function FPSController:CreateRig()
    local newRig = viewModel:Clone()
    self.rig = newRig
    newRig.Parent = self.camera
end

function FPSController:BindTool(tool : Model)
    local rigGrip = self:RetrieveRigGrip()
    tool.Name = "Weapon"
    tool.Parent = self.rig
    rigGrip.Part1 = tool.Handle
end


function FPSController:EquipTool(toolName : string)
    self:CreateRig()
    local weapon = weapons:FindFirstChild(toolName)
    if weapon then
        local weaponClone = weapon:Clone()
        self:BindTool(weaponClone)
        local equipAnimation = self.rig.AnimationController.Animator:LoadAnimation(ReplicatedStorage.Animations.UMPEquip)
        repeat task.wait() until equipAnimation.Length > 0
        print(equipAnimation.Length)
        equipAnimation:Play(0)
    -- table.insert(self.loopingAnims, idleAnimation)
    end
end
