3D, Rotate gun towards mouse

Hi,

I'm creating a 3D third person shooter game. I have an aim function that gets called in the Update function whenever the user holds down the right mouse button. This is the code for the aim function:

 void Aim() {
         var aimX = Input.mousePosition.x;
         var aimY = Input.mousePosition.y;
         var aimZ = 0;
 
         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.Euler(aimX, aimY, aimZ), Time.fixedDeltaTime);
 }

The issue I now have is that the rotation is the polar opposite of my mouse position every time I try to aim the gun towards the mouse position.
