Why are my pets not being set into a a complete circle?

I am attempting to make a pet system that automatically places the pets based on how many there are. I used this devforum post Having multiple 'pets' at once? - #5 by SovereignFrost

I copied the math and double checked it but for some reason when I run my game and equip multiple pets they perform weirdly like this.

here is the funciton the gets called every heartbeart.

local function updatePetPositions(player)
    local numberOfPetsEquipped = 0

    for _,v in ipairs(player.PlayerPets:GetChildren()) do
        local petData = HttpService:JSONDecode(v.Value)
        if petData.isEquipped then
            numberOfPetsEquipped += 1

            local newPosition = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(Utilities.GetPointOnCircle(5, 360/numberOfPetsEquipped))).Position - Vector3.new(0, player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Size.Y / 2, 0) 
            newPosition = newPosition + Vector3.new(0, math.sin((T - tick())) / 7)
            local newGyro = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame 

            local petObj = petCache[petData.petId]
            petObj:setPetPosition(newPosition)
            petObj:setBodyGyro(newGyro)
        end
    end

here is the GetPointOnCirlce function

function Utilities.GetPointOnCircle(CircleRadius, Degrees)
	return Vector3.new(math.cos(math.rad(Degrees)) * CircleRadius, 0, math.sin(math.rad(Degrees)) * CircleRadius)
end

I get no errors.

SOLVED: i apparently had to sqaure the numberOfPetsEquipped in the GetPointOnCircle.
