camera repositions itself

This question is kind of a continuation of an older question I had posted a while back (see here). I am using the following script to move the camera around with either keyboard or mouse:

 var distance = 10.0;
 var xSpeed = 250.0;
 var ySpeed = 120.0;
 var yMinLimit = -20;
 var yMaxLimit = 80;
 var zoomRate = 2;
 
 
 private var x = 0.0;
 private var y = 0.0;
 
 @script AddComponentMenu("Camera-Control/Mouse Orbit")
 
 function Start () {
     
     var angles = transform.eulerAngles;
     x = angles.y;
     y = angles.x;
 }
    
 var mover : Transform;
 var scrollScreen :boolean = false;
 
 function Update () {
 
     if (!mover) {return;}
     
     var speed = 5.0;
     var rotation = Quaternion.Euler(y, x, 0);
     var position = rotation * Vector3(0.0, 0.0,-distance)+ mover.position;
     
     if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.CapsLock)){
         // I removed the if statement that moves mover and sets the position
           scrollScreen = !scrollScreen ;
     }
     
     if(scrollScreen){
         //keyboard
         var x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
         var z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
         transform.Translate(x, 0, z);
         mover.Translate(x, 0, z);  /** Added this line **/
     } else {
         //mouse
         mover.rotation = rotation;  /** Added this line **/
         transform.rotation = rotation;
         transform.position = position + mover.position;
     }
 }
     
 function LateUpdate () {
     if (!mover) {return;}
    
     if (Input.GetMouseButton(2)) {
         x += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * xSpeed * 0.02;
         y -= Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * ySpeed * 0.02;
     }
        
     distance += -Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") * zoomRate * Mathf.Abs(distance);   
     y = ClampAngle(y, yMinLimit, yMaxLimit);
 }
 
 static function ClampAngle (angle : float, min : float, max : float) {
    if (angle < -360)
       angle += 360;
    if (angle > 360)
       angle -= 360;
    return Mathf.Clamp (angle, min, max);
 } 

which works in tandem with this script:

 var moveSpeed : float = 1;
 var cam : Transform;
 
 
 function Update () {
     
     //pan
     
     if (Input.GetMouseButton(1)) {
         transform.rotation = cam.rotation;
         transform.Translate(Vector3.right * -Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * moveSpeed);
         transform.Translate(transform.up * -Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * moveSpeed, Space.World);
     }
     
 }

But the problem is that the camera position that shows up in the preview insert window of scene view is not the starting position of the camera at runtime (I think it has to do with the distance variable and possibly the LateUpdate y-value, but I'm not sure what to change). How do I fix this?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
