Viewmodel R15 doesn't work as intended

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

  1. What do you want to achieve? A functional viewmodel on R15 characters

  2. What is the issue? The shoulders are not “animating”

Here is what it would look like when not attached to the character

The code is quite simple

local OFFSET = 2
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local character = script.Parent
local VM = game.ReplicatedStorage.VM:Clone()
VM.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera
local leftShoulder = character.LeftUpperArm["LeftShoulder"]
local rightShoulder = character.RightUpperArm["RightShoulder"]

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	character:FindFirstChild("RightUpperArm").LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
	character:FindFirstChild("RightLowerArm").LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
	character:FindFirstChild("RightHand").LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
	character:FindFirstChild("LeftUpperArm").LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
	character:FindFirstChild("LeftLowerArm").LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
	character:FindFirstChild("LeftHand").LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
	VM:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame + workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.LookVector * OFFSET)
	local dist = (workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position - character.Head.Position).Magnitude
	if dist < 2 then
		rightShoulder.Part0 = VM.Torso
		leftShoulder.Part0 = VM.Torso
	else
		rightShoulder.Part0 = character.UpperTorso
		leftShoulder.Part0 = character.UpperTorso
	end
end)
