Ray from camera that has an angle and calculating right position

I'm trying to do a character controller like shooty skies game and I'm sending a ray from a camera and camera has some angle and equating the hit point to the transform of an object, but if the Y of the object is not 0, of course, it looks like it's not folowingthe Mouse position (Ray hit point ), because of the angle of the camera. How can I calculate this and make it look right?
my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update()
2.     {
3.         if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
4.         {
5.             ray = cam.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
6.             if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, Mathf.Infinity, layerMask))
7.             {
8.                 Vector3 pos = new Vector3(hit.point.x, transform.position.y, hit.point.z - transform.position.y / 2);
9.              
10. transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(gameObject.transform.position, pos, Time.deltaTime * followSpeed);
11.             }
12.         }
13.  
14.     }

and this is an example image

You can raycast to other things than a collider. If you make a mathematical Plane object (invisible) at the altitude you want your plane to fly at, then you just raycast to that.

That's how I would do the "where is the player" problem in Shooty Skies. (EDIT: I did NOT write shooty skies; I'm simply observing the video)

Raycasting, colliders, planes, Plane, etc:

BE SURE to get the order of constructors correct for a

new Plane()

object!!

 

I hadn't even heard of a mathematical plane until you said it and I created a plane on an object with an angle and used the plane.Ray function. Actually i think i might have even used it wrong logically. I don't know if it was necessary to create a cube with an angle. And i played shooty skies and that's what i wanted to do actually i haven't seen this game before. it doesn't have a distance effect exactly like in that game, maybe I need to decrease the scale of the object as the distance increases. Did you make the shooty skies game? I had the opportunity to play while studying the mechanics and it's a great game, congratulations. Thank you for reply back and keeping me informed i learned something new and important!

EDIT: I guess I was in a bit of a hurry and forgot what I really wanted to do. Actually, it works very well, logically, but since the Y of the object I move has changed, they will not have the same y value as an object coming from the opposite direction, for example, as in the shooty skies game, I guess the enemies or the bullets that moving forward always move with the angle of the plane.
