How to control horizontal movement while making Sine wave pattern?

Hi,

For a very small personal project in AR i'm trying to control the movement of a sphere(Only Horizontally) while it's making a Sinewave pattern.

For example:

Sphere is going from point A to point B with a sinewave pattern. I press the right button (on the touchscreen of the phone) The spere moves to the right but it maintains it's wave without chaging magnitude, frequency, etc.

I've tried with a Sinewave script:

  using UnityEngine;
  using System.Collections;
  
  public class Projectile : MonoBehaviour {
      
      public float MoveSpeed = 5.0f;
  
      public float frequency = 20.0f;  // Speed of sine movement
      public float magnitude = 0.5f;   // Size of sine movement
      private Vector3 axis;
  
      private Vector3 pos;
  
      void Start () {
          pos = transform.position;
          //DestroyObject(gameObject, 1.0f);
          axis = transform.right;  // May or may not be the axis you want
          
      }
      
      void Update () {
          pos += transform.up * Time.deltaTime * MoveSpeed;
          transform.position = pos + axis * Mathf.Sin (Time.time * frequency) * magnitude;
      }
  }

And then adding a movement script to the camera:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class Movement : MonoBehaviour {
     //variables
     public float moveSpeed = 300;
     public GameObject character;
 
     private Rigidbody characterBody;
     private float ScreenWidth;
 
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         ScreenWidth = Screen.width;
         characterBody = character.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         int i = 0;
         //loop over every touch found
         while (i < Input.touchCount) {
             if (Input.GetTouch (i).position.x > ScreenWidth / 2) {
                 //move right
                 RunCharacter (1.0f);
             }
             if (Input.GetTouch (i).position.x < ScreenWidth / 2) {
                 //move left
                 RunCharacter (-1.0f);
             }
             ++i;
         }
     }
     void FixedUpdate(){
         #if UNITY_EDITOR
         RunCharacter(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"));
         #endif
     }
 
     private void RunCharacter(float horizontalInput){
         //move player
         characterBody.AddForce(new Vector2(horizontalInput * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0));
 
     }
 }

But they override each other and they don't work simultaneously.

Anyone got an idea?
