Floating book not orienting properly, anyone know why?

To start off I made a floating book which functions like a pet for designs to my game. It works however it doesn't face the right way properly and I don't know why. Here's a video showcasing it: https://gyazo.com/e28b64b47f20048db9243099ff902aa1

CODE:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)  
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        if Player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Electric blue") then
            Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth = 350
            Character.Humanoid.Health = 350
            local mageBook = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FX").MageBook:Clone()
            mageBook.Parent = Character
            local bodyPos = Instance.new("BodyPosition", mageBook)
            bodyPos.MaxForce = Vector3.new(400000, 400000, 400000)
            local bodyGyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro", mageBook)
            bodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(400000, 400000, 400000)
            while wait() do
                bodyPos.Position = Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(1,1,4)
                bodyGyro.CFrame = Character.Head.CFrame
            end
        end
    end)
end)

Maybe the book's LookVector (or -ZVector) is one of the sides. To make it face the right way, you need to make -XVector as new ZVector and ZVector as new XVector using CFrame.fromMatrix().

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)  
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        if Player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Electric blue") then
            Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth = 350
            Character.Humanoid.Health = 350
            local mageBook = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FX").MageBook:Clone()
            mageBook.Parent = Character
            local bodyPos = Instance.new("BodyPosition", mageBook)
            bodyPos.MaxForce = Vector3.new(400000, 400000, 400000)
            local bodyGyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro", mageBook)
            bodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(400000, 400000, 400000)
            while true do
                local headCF = Character.Head:GetPivot()

                bodyPos.Position = Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(1,1,4)
                bodyGyro.CFrame = CFrame.fromMatrix(headCF.Position, headCF.ZVector, headCF.YVector, -headCF.XVector)
                task.wait()
            end
        end
    end)
end)

Alternatively, you can rotate it by 90° on y-axis using CFrame.Angles().

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)  
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        if Player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Electric blue") then
            Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth = 350
            Character.Humanoid.Health = 350
            local mageBook = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FX").MageBook:Clone()
            mageBook.Parent = Character
            local bodyPos = Instance.new("BodyPosition", mageBook)
            bodyPos.MaxForce = Vector3.new(400000, 400000, 400000)
            local bodyGyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro", mageBook)
            bodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(400000, 400000, 400000)
            while true do
                bodyPos.Position = Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(1,1,4)
                bodyGyro.CFrame = Character.Head:GetPivot():ToWorldSpace(CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)) -- or Character.Head:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
                task.wait()
            end
        end
    end)
end)

I messed around a bit with the first code and managed to fix it. TYSM!! SYKEYE3T 9 — 1y
