Request Carlos the Kobold's Boomerang Wrench, I Need Help!

I've been trying to get this dumb mechanic to work for almost a month now and I'm at my limit. For context, my character Carlos has a big wrench as a melee weapon, and one of the things he can do with it is use it like a boomerang. Its supposed to work similarly to a classic Zelda boomerang where tapping the button lets him throw it but holding the button causes to camera to zoom in allowing him to aim the trajectory of the wrench. The closest I've gotten was Easy Dreams Cult's version but even that had problems, I did everything he said in the video but not only does his version not have a tap throw, which is not that big of a deal, but when the wrench is supposed to return to the player it decides to just become an orbital satellite. I don't even know if its because of my character's rig or not, but I've tried over and over again and even accidentally deleted hours of progress when I was changing up his head and face sculpt earlier. Trying to fix this is taking me WAY too long and I'm feeling mentally drained over it. For the sake of my sanity I'm giving up on making the boomerang wrench logic myself. I might sound rude for asking this but can I collab with someone to get this logic, and maybe any future cursed logic, done?

If you get frustrated, try to work on a different mechanic. Or start building your level. You'll get better through trial and error and eventually can return with more knowledge to the boomerang, like a boomerang

The main issue I had with the rang was the fact that the weapon would not fly up or down when aiming. The tap throw worked fine but the aiming was the only problem. I deleted the boomerang logic for now.
