Why is my Gameovject not at 0 in the z acis?

I am trying to make a game where you move bricks and I dont want it to be able to move in the z axis cause I just get glitches of the brick going so close in the z axis it goes under the camera… Why is this happening and how can I fix it? My script for moving the objects is: Vector3 dist;
float posX;
float posY;
public Rigidbody rigbody;
public float distance = 0.01f;
public static bool SluppetBrikke;
public static bool BrikkeErIGolvet;

  void OnMouseDown(){

      rigbody.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeRotation;
      SluppetBrikke = false;

      if (ColliderStopper.StoppNed == false || Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") > 0)
      {
          dist = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(transform.position);
                posX = Input.mousePosition.x - dist.x;
          posY = Input.mousePosition.y - dist.y;
          //posY = distance;
      }

      if(ColliderStopper.StoppNed == true && Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") < 0)
      {
          dist = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(transform.position);
          posX = Input.mousePosition.x - dist.x;
      }

  }

void Update()
{
    transform.position.Set(transform.position.x, transform.position.y
        , 0);
}
void OnMouseDrag(){
    Vector3 curPos = 
              new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x - posX,
              Input.mousePosition.y - posY, 0);  

    Vector3 worldPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(curPos);
    transform.position = worldPos;  
  }
    void OnMouseUp()
  {
      rigbody.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.None;
      SluppetBrikke = true;

  }
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
  {
      if (other.tag == "Floor")
      {
         BrikkeErIGolvet = true;
      }
  }

@gibbie_learnersedge answer is an option, but note that with rigidbody constraints for position you are restricted to world coordinates. If you want to be more flexible:

Substitute

     transform.position.Set(transform.position.x, transform.position.y
         , 0);

with

transform.position=new Vector3(transform.position.x,transform.position.y,0);

in the Update() Function. The reason your solution didn’t work is that transform.position apparently only returns a copy, so Set() only sets the position of the copy.

Note: It’s now still set in world coordinates. If you don’t want the object to get closer to the camera, you have to use WorldToScreenPoint of course.

You could try to constraints your z-axis in your rigidbody. It is under constraints. See if that helps.
