Why won't the rest of my script run after I put an if statement for a variable?

An element of my game is where you can upgrade your house through a UI. My script is supposed to check if you have enough money, make the cloner variable true which will run the distance check, and if you're far enough it should make the distance true. When distance is true it is supposed to run the rest of the script by using an if statement, but it doesn't seem to be running it. The first if statement is basically the exact same and runs fine. Can somebody help me out? (this is a localscript)

local cloner = false
local distance = false
local gui = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = RemoteEvent:WaitForChild("Remote1")
local tier1 = workspace.Buildings.floor1
local range = (tier1.root.Position-game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position).magnitude
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(distance, cloner)
	local ls = player:FindFirstChild('leaderstats')
	local cash = ls:FindFirstChild('Money')
	if cash.Value >= 10000 then
		cash.Value = cash.Value - 10000
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.happymoner.Visible = true
		local cloner=true
		if cloner then
			print("cloner is true, checking for distance")
			if range <= tier1.mindist.Value then
				local distance=true
				if distance then
					print("Distance is true, cloning")
					script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0.588235, 0.584314, 0.596078)
					script.Parent.Text = "Owned!"
					script.Disabled = true
					remote:FireServer()
				end
			end


			wait(5)
			script.Parent.Parent.Parent.happymoner.Visible = false


		else
			script.Parent.Parent.Parent.moner.Visible = true
			wait(3)
			script.Parent.Parent.Parent.moner.Visible = false
		end


	end
end)

This part is what it won't run

if cloner then
			print("cloner is true, checking for distance")
			if range <= tier1.mindist.Value then
				local distance=true
				if distance then
					print("Distance is true, cloning")
					script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0.588235, 0.584314, 0.596078)
					script.Parent.Text = "Owned!"
					script.Disabled = true
					remote:FireServer()
				end
			end
