Using Oculus headgear position as input.

I have been trying to use the oculus headgear position as a modifier the speed of a space shooter (chin tucked in means slower speed). However I've run into two problems.

I'm trying to use a script on an empty object to pass on the speedModifier variable to use in other scripts, however it doesn't get any input.

  using System.Collections;
     using System.Collections.Generic;
     using UnityEngine;
     using UnityEngine.XR;
     
     public class HeadgearModifier : MonoBehaviour
     {
     private InputDevice headgear;
     public float headgearModifier;
     public float throttle;
     public float devicePos;
     public Vector3 deviceVector;
 
     void Start()
     {
         List<InputDevice> devices = new List<InputDevice>();
         InputDeviceCharacteristics headgearCharacteristics = InputDeviceCharacteristics.Camera;
         InputDevices.GetDevicesWithCharacteristics(headgearCharacteristics, devices);
 
         if (devices.Count > 0)
         {
             headgear = devices[0];
         }
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         headgear.TryGetFeatureValue(CommonUsages.devicePosition, out Vector3 devicePositionValue);
         devicePos = devicePositionValue.z;
         deviceVector = devicePositionValue;
 
         if (throttle < 0.1f)
         {
             headgearModifier = 0.1f;
         }
 
         else if (throttle > 1f)
         {
             headgearModifier = 1f;
         }
 
         else if (throttle < 1f && throttle > 0.1f)
         {
             headgearModifier = throttle;
         }
     }
 }

This is actually the second method i tried, the first one was simply reference to camera position. however the camera position sometimes got altered somehow (note that i offset the camera to a 3rd person view of the "fighter plane" with the z axis locked (which is the axis i want to use).

  public class FollowPlayerX : MonoBehaviour
     {
         public GameObject plane;
         private Vector3 positionOffset = new Vector3(0, 1, -10);
     
         void Update()
         {
             transform.position = plane.transform.position + positionOffset;
             
         }
     }

If anyone could help me with this i'd be very thankful. Cheers!
