Animation Flickering when updating Tranform

Unity Engine
1

I have a 2d animation which is 3 sprites long. It works fine on its own.

As I have moved forward, I added code to update the transform and now the animation is flickering.

This code is attached to the object.

I am running this on Windows 10
Unity version 2019.4.2f1 Personal

The issue happens both in game preview and in the Scene manager.

 void Update()
    {
       float mousePos = Input.mousePosition.x / Screen.width * screenWidthInUnits;
       Vector2 paddlePos = new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y);
       transform.position = paddlePos;
      
    }
}

If I comment out the last line like this the flickering goes away

void Update()
    {
       float mousePos = Input.mousePosition.x / Screen.width * screenWidthInUnits;
       Vector2 paddlePos = new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y);
       //transform.position = paddlePos;
      
    }

I have attempted to google this with no luck.

If anyone wishes to try to run the code themselves I have it listed here on github as I am just using this as a way to learn Unity

try doing

  Vector3 paddlePos = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y,transform.position.z);
       transform.position = paddlePos;

Thank you,

Converting it to the Vector3 solves the issue. I appreciate the help!
