Inverting Position on One Axis

Hello, I have been trying to achieve something for a long time and I am getting desperate. I have an object attached to my player sprite that marks the location that a projectile spawns at when the player clicks to shoot. The problem is, when I used FlipX to flip the player sprite, the object does not also go to the other side of the player, so the projectiles spawn in the wrong place.

Using C#, is there any way I could change transform.position.x to become negative and vice versa in order to make it "flip" with the player? I have tried doing this on my own but nothing I do apparently works with transform.position.

Also, is there a better way to achieve this? Thanks in advanced.

My code:

Player Movement Script:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float maxSpeed;
     public float jumpSpeed;
     public float checkRadius;
     public bool onGround;
     public bool facingRight;    
 
     private Rigidbody2D playerRB;
     private Animator playerAnim;   
     private SpriteRenderer rend;
     public Transform groundChecker;
     public LayerMask groundLayer;
 
     private void Start()
     {
         playerRB = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
         rend = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
         playerAnim = GetComponent<Animator>();
         facingRight = true;
         onGround = true;
     }
 
     private void Update()
     {
         //if the player is on the ground and the spacebar has been pressed, the player jumps
         if (onGround == true && Input.GetAxis("Jump") > 0)
         {
             onGround = false;
             playerAnim.SetBool("Grounded", onGround);
             playerRB.AddForce(new Vector2(0, jumpSpeed));
         }
 
     }
 
     private void FixedUpdate()
     {
         //sets grounded to true if the overlapCircle overlaps something on the layer set as groundLayer
         onGround = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(groundChecker.position, checkRadius, groundLayer);
 
         float move = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
 
         playerAnim.SetBool("Grounded", onGround);
 
         playerRB.velocity = new Vector2(move * maxSpeed, playerRB.velocity.y);
         playerAnim.SetFloat("speed", Mathf.Abs(move));       
 
         if (move < 0 && facingRight)
         {
             turn();
         }
         else if (move > 0 && !facingRight)
         {
             turn();
         }
 
     }
 
     void turn()
     {
         facingRight = !facingRight;
         rend.flipX = !rend.flipX;
     }
 
 }

Projectile Script

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class WizardProjectile : MonoBehaviour {
 
     private float speed;
     public GameObject projectileSpawn;
     public GameObject player;
     public PlayerMovement playMov;
     public BoxCollider2D col;
     private Animator anim;
     private SpriteRenderer rend;
 
     private void Awake()
     {
         projectileSpawn = GameObject.Find("Wizard Projectile Spawn");
     }
 
     private void Start ()
     {
         //defining variables
         speed = 15f;
         player = GameObject.Find("Player");
         col = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
         transform.position = projectileSpawn.transform.position;
         rend = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
         anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
 
        //makes projectile face the same direction as the player
        rend.flipX = player.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().flipX;
     }
 
     private void Update()
     {       
 
         // Will need to change all of this in order for the projectile to follow where the cursor clicked. 
         if (GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().flipX == true)
         {
             transform.Translate(Vector2.left * Time.deltaTime * speed);
         }
         else if (GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().flipX == false)
         {
             transform.Translate(Vector2.right * Time.deltaTime * speed);
         }
 
         Destroy(gameObject, 2);
     }
 
     private void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D col)
     {
         anim.SetBool("Hit", true);
         Destroy(gameObject);
     }
 }
