[SOLVED] Why do the parts I clone always go on top of everything else when they appear?

If you've ever seen My Hero Academia, an anime show, I'm trying to make a Todoroki Ice Slide move, I'm not entirely done with it yet, but everything but one thing that I've done so far works. This script makes clones of a part inside of the script, and puts them behind the player to look like the player is using ice to push him/herself forward. It creates the parts, but every part it clones, automatically gets put on top of everything else and it makes it look weird.

UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(key)
    if key.KeyCode == iceSlideKey and enabled == true then
        keyDown = true
        while keyDown == true do
            char.Humanoid.Jump = true
            char.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector*100
            local slide = iceSlide:Clone()
            slide.Position = char.HumanoidRootPart.Position - char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector*10 - Vector3.new(0,10,0)
            slide.Parent = game.Workspace
            slide.Anchored = true
            slide.Orientation = char.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation + Vector3.new(0,180,0)
            slide.CanCollide = false
            wait(0.1)
        end
    end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:connect(function(key)
    if key.KeyCode == iceSlideKey and keyDown == true then
        keyDown = false
    end
end)

By the way, this isn't the full script, so if you test it, it won't work. Here's a gif of what it does. https://gyazo.com/a7bc1d36316ab3e7009a7421e02163ea

Instead of using the Position, use the CFrame to avoid this from happening. The way ROBLOX positioning works is by respecting collisions. Using CFrame basically set and stones the position.

I changed the set position line from position to cframe, but nothing changed, is there a way I'm supposed to use cframe to do orientation? Knineteen19 307 — 6y

Also it worked as intended before i put the orientation part in, and only started messing up when i put it in Knineteen19 307 — 6y

Actually, I just noticed, when I remove the orientation part, it still rotates it thanks to the cframe, but it's backwards... Knineteen19 307 — 6y
