How would you make a mesh float several studs away from the players face?

I am making an object pick-up system for my game. Right now, everything is working, except for keeping the mesh in front of the players face. This is similar to the game "Murder"s pick-up system. I also want this to be serverside. Here is my code:

Client-Side Code:

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
    
    game.ReplicatedStorage.events.PickUp:FireServer()
	print("player picked up")
	
    end
end)

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
    
    game.ReplicatedStorage.events.PlaceDown:FireServer()
	print("player put down")

    end
end)

Server-Side Code:

local stop = 0
local x
local y
local z

game.ReplicatedStorage.events.PickUp.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character
	local magnitude = (character.Head.Position - script.Parent.Position).Magnitude
	
	
	
	if magnitude <= 5 then
		while stop == 0 do
			x = character.Head.Position.X + 5  -- this is where i need help. i can make it stay with the player, but not in front of their face.
			y = character.Head.Position.Y
			z = character.Head.Position.Z + 5
			
			script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(x,y,z)
			
			wait(0.05)
			
		end
	end
	
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.events.PlaceDown.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	stop = 1
	wait(0.5)
	stop = 0
end)

As you may be able to tell, my code right now just moves it to the players X and Z + 5. Hopefully, there is a fix for this. Thanks!
