How would I prevent the brick from going around the block it is placed?

The brick, "LightExplosion" is a ball part that is fired with a laser and then rapidly expands to its size. The issue is when it resizes it goes around blocks instead of cframing into them and it only happens with the onTouch function. When the function is removed it works fine. How would I fix the function to where it doesn't force the ball to go over the designated part and instead half into it? Here's the code causing the problem:

01-- Adds a repulsive force to anything this object touches
02 
03local Debris = game:GetService('Debris')
04 
05 
06local CharacterToIgnore = script:WaitForChild('CharacterToIgnore').Value

10local MAGNITUDE = 3E4
11 
12local TIME_OF_FORCE = 0.2
13 
14 
15local Part = script.Parent
16Part.Touched:connect(function(other)
17    Part.CanCollide= false
18    Part.Anchored = true
19 
20 --Variable goes here!
21 
22    if other.Parent == CharacterToIgnore or (other.Parent and other.Parent.Parent == CharacterToIgnore) then return end
23 
24    if not other.Anchored then
25 
26       -- local punchSound = script:FindFirstChild('PunchSound')
27 
28        --if punchSound then punchSound:Play() end
29 
30        local direction = (other.Position - Part.Position).unit
31 
32        local bodyForce = Instance.new('BodyForce')
33 
34        bodyForce.force = MAGNITUDE * direction-- Adds a repulsive force to anything this object touches
35
