Using RemoteEvents, why isn't the players local script firing from the server?

The title explains most of the issue, but I'll explain a little further.

The purpose of this script setup is to replace the player's character to a model inside the Workspace and set the player's CurrentCamera to be relatively where that model is (but its set to a different part, which is considered the actual camera.)

The server script is inside of a part which fires a RemoteEvent once it gets touched. Here's that script.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(object)
	local char = object.Parent
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
	char:Destroy()
	player.Character = script.Parent.Parent.Pilot
	--Script from this point handles camera management with FE enabled.
	local event = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
	event.Parent = script.Parent
	event.Name = "cameraPilot"
	event:FireClient(player)
	
end)

Next off, the local script that receives the firing request. Since camera manipulation can only work within a local script inside the player, I found this to be the easiest way to do it, with FE enabled.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

player:WaitForChild("cameraPilot").OnClientEvent:connect(function()
	print("Connection successful. Adjusting Camera.")
	local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Track
	cam.CameraSubject = workspace["Mig-35"].pilotStuff.cameraPilot
end)

I've checked over it many times and I still can't figure out the issue. I would love some help ahaha Thanks guys :)

P.S: My bird in my room is chirping so much that its pissing me off and this might not have been explained thoroughly, sorry...
