Orientation of object is wrong only first time I call function. How can I fix that?

This is code that spaws Soda and attaches it to player. The problem is that first time the function is called it spaws Soda is wrong orientation. Second times it's called it's as intended.

Images for reference: image1, image2

01local items = {}
02 
03    function items.get(player, item)
04        local successful = false
05        local object, pos, ang
06        local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
07 
08        if player.PlayerData.Item.Value == nil then
09            --Get item type
10            if item == "Soda" then
11                object = game:GetService("ServerStorage").Soda
12                animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=5162117084"
13                pos = CFrame.new(0,-1.3,0)
14                ang = Vector3.new(0,0,-90)
15            end
16 
17            local arm = player.Character["Right Arm"] --Spawning and position
18            local clone = object:Clone()
19            clone.Anchored = false
20            clone.Parent = arm
21            player.PlayerData.Item.Value = clone
22 
23            clone.CFrame = arm.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(pos)
24            clone.Orientation = ang
25 
26            local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint") --Weld parts
27            weld.Parent = clone
28            weld.Part0 = arm
29            weld.Part1 = clone
30 
31            --Animation
32            local animationTrack = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
33            animationTrack:Play()
34 
35            successful = true
36        end
37 
38        return successful
39    end

If you want to get past the problem of it not working first time what you want to do is call the function first, delete the soda, then call the function again and hopefully the soda should be in the correct place.

That doesn't fix the problem. You're suggesting to ignore it ThreeTwigs 0 — 4y

So I think I figured it out. I swapped right arm for torso and adjusted the position and rotation and it worked. Thanks @Gooncreeper for contribution
