I am trying to make a ball bounce off a "paddle" but it just gets stuck on it and keeps on getting stuck on the paddle and stays there

Here are the script of the paddle and script

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Paddle : MonoBehaviour

{
    public float speed = 0.06f;
    public float xBounds = 2.15f; 

    int direction = 0;
    float previousPositionX;

    private GameObject ball;
    private float speedBall;
   
    void Start()
    {

        ball = GameObject.Find("Ball");
    }

    
    void Update()
    {
        Movement();
    }

    void LateUpdate()
    {
        previousPositionX = transform.position.x;
    }

    void Movement()
    {
        float h = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

        if(h > 0)
        {
            transform.position = new Vector2(transform.position.x + speed,
                transform.position.y);
        }
        else if (h < 0)
        {
            transform.position = new Vector2(transform.position.x - speed,
                transform.position.y);
        }

        if (previousPositionX > transform.position.x)
            direction = -1;
        else if (previousPositionX < transform.position.x)
            direction = 1;
        else
            direction = 0;

         
        transform.position = new Vector2(Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x,
            -xBounds, xBounds), transform.position.y);
    }

    void  OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D target)
    {
        float adjust = 3 * direction;
        target.rigidbody.velocity = new Vector2(target.rigidbody.velocity.x + adjust,
            transform.position.y);
    }
  
}

here is the ball script:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class BallScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed, multiplier, constantSpeed;


    public Transform startPoint;
    private Rigidbody2D myBody;

    private bool canMove, shoot;

    void Awake()
    {
        myBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }


    void Update()
    {
        if (canMove)
        {
            if (!shoot)
            {
                shoot = true;
                myBody.AddForce(new Vector2(0, speed * multiplier));
            }
        }
        else
        {
            transform.position = startPoint.position;
        }

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
            canMove = true;

        myBody.velocity = constantSpeed * myBody.velocity.normalized;
    }
}

I really dont know what to do.

Take a look at “Physic Material”, property “Bounciness”. It will help to do correct bounce without any single line of code.
Just create a Physic Material with Bounciness = 1, then add it to ball and paddle
