Help on Camera Manipulation: Why does this happen?

My Script:

local gui = script.Parent

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer 

local cam = game.Workspace.Camera

local distance = 10

local p = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local check = false
	
script.Parent.Menu2.Training.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	p.LowerTorso.CFrame = CFrame.new(0, 1066.35+5, 31.286)
	p.LowerTorso.Anchored = false
	focushere = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name).focus
	cam.CameraSubject = focushere
	p.Humanoid.Jump = true
	p.LeftFoot.Touched:Connect(function()
		if check == false then
			cam.CameraType = "Fixed"
			script.parent.Menu2.Visible = false
			script.parent.Background.Visible = false
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMaxZoomDistance = distance
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMinZoomDistance = distance
			cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(9.9973382949829,focushere.CFrame.Y,focushere.CFrame.Z) -- z = 27.442066192627 y = 
			--cam.CoordinateFrame = focushere.CFrame * CFrame.new(8,0,0) --* CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(2)) 
			check = true
			p.Check.Value = true
		else
			return
		end
	end)
end)

repeat
	wait()
until gui.Startgame.Visible == false and gui.Menu.Visible == false and gui.Menu2.Visible == false


function rotate()
	local root_part_one = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name).HumanoidRootPart
	local root_part_two = game.Workspace.StarterCharacter.HumanoidRootPart
 
	-- Face player 1 towards player 2
	root_part_one.CFrame = CFrame.new(root_part_one.Position, root_part_two.Position)
 
	-- Face player 2 towards player 1
	root_part_two.CFrame = CFrame.new(root_part_two.Position, root_part_one.Position)
end

function follow()
	--cam.CoordinateFrame = cam.CoordinateFrame * CFrame.new(1,0,0)-- * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(2))
	cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(9.9973382949829,focushere.CFrame.Y,focushere.CFrame.Z)
end

check3 = true

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	p.Humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function()
		check3 = false
	end)
    if(check3 == true) then
        if(p.Humanoid.Health > 0) then
            --rotate();
            follow()
        end
	else
		check3 = true
	end
end)

Problem: Why is it that when I try setting Y and Z values of the Camera's CFrame to the Y and Z values of focus, the camera just faces forward? What I hope to happen is for the camera to face the right side of my player similar to that of a 2D game. Anyone have any clue what I did wrong or have a better solution to this? If so please help!

Clarification: focus and focushere is the same thing, Its just a part I place in front of my player's head to be the Camera's focus.
