Falling Blocks Don't Stop Falling

I’m making a platformer in Unity, and in making the first boss battle I have a bug with the blocks that fall when you land on them, then stop falling then get moved back up to their starting position. The bug is that they fall, and Reset fine, but they just fall back down

here is the code:

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlatformFall : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Header("Basic variables")]
    [Tooltip("How long to delay before dropping the platform")]
    public float fallDelay = 0.3f; // The delay before the platform falls
    public bool isFalling = false;

    [Header("Boss fighting variables")]
    public float waitToReanstantiate = 1f;
    //public Transform respawnPoint;
    public Vector2 startingPos;

    private BoxCollider2D boxCollider;
    private new Rigidbody2D rigidbody; // The rigidbody

    void Awake()
    {
        // Finding components
        rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        boxCollider = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
    }

    void Start()
    {
        // Set the respawing point
        startingPos = transform.position;
    }

    // Whenever a collision hits the platform run this method
    void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other)
    {
        // If the gameObject has the Player tag, then run this
        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            Invoke("Fall", fallDelay); // Drop the platform after fallDelay, defined on line 6, times out
        }
    }

    // This gets invoked to drop the platforms
    void Fall()
    {
        rigidbody.isKinematic = false; // Use the physics engine
        boxCollider.isTrigger = true; // Make the collider a trigger, so it can't collide with anything else
        isFalling = true; // Make the block fall
    }

    void Respawn ()
    {
        StartCoroutine("RespawnCo");
    }

    IEnumerator RespawnCo()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(waitToReanstantiate); // Wait for a while
        isFalling = false; // Stop it from falling
        rigidbody.isKinematic = true;
        boxCollider.isTrigger = false;
        transform.position = startingPos; // Reset the position
    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        // If the block collides with the killzone, then turn off the gameobject and reset weather it can fall
        if(other.tag == "Killzone")
        {
            rigidbody.isKinematic = true;
            boxCollider.isTrigger = false;
            isFalling = false;
            Respawn();
        }
    }
}

Not sure if that’s the problem, but have you tried setting the velocity to zero? (zero vector).

Thanks! that works!
