[SOLVED] Mouse's Target giving incorrect input?

I've struggled with this issue for over a week now and my project has halted completely. The mouse object is giving a wrong object as its target whenever I click. I made this little video demonstrating the issue, alongside with the exact place in this video.

In my original project I have tried different ways to mimic the Target property, none of them has worked.

01function mouse:getTarget(directory)
02--  local ray = Ray.new(realCamera.CFrame.p,realMouse.Origin.lookVector * 2000)
03--  local part = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
04--  drawRay(ray)
05--  return part
06 
07--  local mouseRay = realMouse.UnitRay
08--  local ray = Ray.new(mouseRay.Origin,mouseRay.Direction * 2000)
09--  local part = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
10--  drawRay(ray)
11--  return part
12 
13--  I guess I just gotta experiment: use WorldToViewportPoint on all clickable objects and check if the mouse is on it on the xy-plane, if multiple ones are found it gives the one with the shortest distance
14--  directory = directory or workspace
15--  
16--  local closest,dis = nil,math.huge
17--  local children = directory:GetChildren()
18--  for n = 1,#children do
19--      local child = children[n]
20--      if child:IsA("BasePart") then
21--          local viewportPoint,isVisible = realCamera:WorldToViewportPoint(child.CFrame.p)
22--          if isVisible then -- else just ignore
23--              local delta = Vector2.new(viewportPoint.X - realMouse.X, viewportPoint.Y - realMouse.Y).magnitude
24--              if delta < dis then
25--                  closest = child
26--                  dis = delta
27--              end
28--          end
29--      end
30--  end
31--  return closest
32end

Where "mouse" is a custom class and realMouse the actual PlayerMouse object. The reason I cannot really use the Target property even if this issue didn't exist, is because its distance is too limited for my needs. I would be using the Ray solution but the mouse's Hit property is also giving incorrect results, which must be connected to the Target issue.

I believe the camera's Focus property is causing this all but I have no idea why. This is how I'm updating the camera, as well as setting the Focus property:

1function camera:update()
2    if self.subject then
3        realCamera.CFrame = self.subject.CFrame * self.rotation * CFrame.new(0,0,self.distance)
4        realCamera.Focus = realCamera.CFrame
5    end
6end
