player.transform is acting funny

i currently have a mathclamp on my player as a movement boundary, everything is working fine but when i trigger the players death(when he hits the enemy collider) and i respawn the player, he respawns in the same position that i initially had him but the value of x is 5 instead of -5, the values in mathclamp are still the same but the relative world position(transform.position) of my player seems to be different, please help i have no idea whats doing it been at it for hours.

here is my code for the boundary

public class Boundary
{
	public float xMin, xMax, yMin, yMax;
}


public class Movement : MonoBehaviour

	public Boundary boundary;
        public Vector2 playerSpawn;

rigidbody2D.position = new Vector2 
(
Mathf.Clamp (rigidbody2D.position.x, boundary.xMin, boundary.xMax),  
Mathf.Clamp (rigidbody2D.position.y, boundary.yMin, boundary.yMax)
);


if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.R))
player.transform.position = playerSpawn;

sorry, figured this one out, it was a silly mistake i was, the player was respawning relative to its parent object, i fixed it with transform.parent.position
