need teleport script fixed slightly

so i found this script by blackstorm to teleport the player on mouse click in a 2D game but it uses the camera's position the bad thing is my camera sits at -1 on the z position and everything else on the 0 z, if i dont do this the camera will not see the player or anything in the game for that matter how would i teleport to the mouse click but keep my players Z position? help would be appreciated.

 //Set up a variable to access the player from
 private Transform player; 
  
 void Awake()
 {
 //Find the player object and set it
 player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;
 }
  
 void Update()
 {
 // Check if you click the left mouse button then change position
 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
 player.position = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
 }
