timer.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.5, timer.AnchorPoint.Y)
will change the X without changing Y

Could you explain what that code does?
The AnchorPoint is a Vector2 type (hence has an X and a Y component), but the components are read-only, so instead of setting AnchorPoint.X = 0.5, we just set AnchorPoint's value to a Vector2 which has an X value of 0.5 and the current Y value of AnchorPoint, so we only changed the X coordinate this way.
I'll try now, thanks for answering!
Thank you, how do I assign this?
timer.Position.X.scale = 0.5"scale cannot be assigned to"Sorry for the late answer. GuiObject.Position is of type UDim2. You can set it using UDim2.new(xScale, xOffset, yScale, yOffset). If you only wanted to change X.Scale then you could write timer.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, timer.Position.X.Offset, timer.Position.Y.Scale, timer.Position.Y.Offset)
