Cylinder RayCasting to face Part towards Character?

I took the RobloxDev Forums Raycasting for the Laser gun and just added a cylinder mesh. Is there any way to have the cylinder in the part face the character's torso's lookVector, because I tried LookVector, and it didn't work. All that happens is that the cylinder goes to where the mouse is, but it's rotated weirdly. Eventually, I'll add a bodygyro to have the player face where the mouse is, so that may help.

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)

tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
    print("Tool equipped!")

    mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
        print("Mouse pressed!")
        local ray = Ray.new(tool.Handle.CFrame.p, (mouse.Hit.p - tool.Handle.CFrame.p).unit * 300)
        local part, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, player.Character, false, true)

        local beam = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
        beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
        beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
        beam.Material = "Neon"
        beam.Transparency = 0.25
        beam.Anchored = true
        beam.Locked = true
        beam.CanCollide = false
        local mesh = Instance.new("SpecialMesh")
        mesh.Parent = beam
        mesh.MeshType = "Cylinder"

        local distance = (tool.Handle.CFrame.p - position).magnitude
        beam.Size = Vector3.new(25,5, distance)
        beam.Orientation = char.Torso.Orientation
        mesh.Scale = Vector3.new(25,5,distance)
        beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(tool.Handle.CFrame.p, position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance / 2)



        if part then
            local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

            if not humanoid then
                humanoid = part.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
            end

            if humanoid then
                humanoid:TakeDamage(30)
            end
        end
    end)
end)
