Instantiate GameObject cloned into wrong position.

I have floating number script that I want to be instantiated every time the sword hits a enemy, the number will display the damage. The issue I have is that every time the prefab object is put in the wrong x and y position. This is a 2D game. An example is that if my hitPoint, where the object will be instantiated, is (78,-36.5,.8) the floating text will be at (0,0,.8). Here is a picture of how the hitPoint is situated, the sword has the collision box and the player holds the sword. This is the first script that takes care of the instantiation of the object,

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class HurtEnemy : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public int damageToGive;
     public GameObject damageBurst; //Blood particle effect
     public Transform hitPoint;  //Brings in point from game
     public GameObject damageNumber; //Used to give the floating number a damage number
     
     void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
     {
         if (other.gameObject.tag == "Enemy")
         {
             Debug.Log(hitPoint.position); //For troubleshooting reasons
 
             other.gameObject.GetComponent<EnemyHealthManager>().HurtEnemy(damageToGive); //This is for the blood particle effect
             Instantiate(damageBurst, hitPoint.position, hitPoint.rotation); //This is for the blood particle effect
 
             GameObject clone = Instantiate(damageNumber, hitPoint.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject; //This is where the issue may be occuring
             clone.GetComponent<FloatingNumbers>().damageNumber = damageToGive; //Changes the damage number in another script.
             Debug.Log(hitPoint.position);//For troubleshooting reasons
 
         }
     }
    
 }

Here is the script that this one calls for the FloatingNumbers,

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 
 public class FloatingNumbers : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public float moveSpeed; //Speed of the floating numbers
     public int damageNumber; //Damage that it displays
     public Text displayNumber; //The display
     
 
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         displayNumber.text = "" + damageNumber; //Turning float into string
         transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + (moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime), transform.position.z); //Making it float
         Debug.Log(transform.position); //For troubleshooting
     }
 }
 

Here are the Debug.logs that are produced for troubleshooting\
