object always "knockbacking" wrong way?

Hello fellow unity members,

I made a punching bag in my game and it registers the wrong movement

 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class EnemyStuff : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public Animator animator;
     public int maxHealth = 300;
     int currentHealth;
     private Rigidbody2D rb;
 
     public LookAtCharacter LookAtCharacter;
 
 
 
 
     void Start()
     {
         currentHealth = maxHealth;
         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
         LookAtCharacter = GameObject.Find("Punching bag").GetComponent<LookAtCharacter>();
 
         
 
    
 
     }
 
 
 
     public void TakeDamage(int damage)
     {
         currentHealth -= damage;
 
         // play hurt animaton
         if (damage == 10)
         {    
             animator.SetTrigger("jab");
             if (LookAtCharacter.left == false)
             {
                 rb.AddForce(new Vector2(150, 0));
             }
             else if (LookAtCharacter.right == false)
             {
                 rb.AddForce(new Vector2(-150, 0));
             }
             
             
         }

} }

I have referenced the left and right boolean from this script

 public class LookAtCharacter : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public bool facingRight = false;
     private Transform target;
     public float speed;
     public bool right;
     public bool left;
     public void Start()
     {
         target = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;
         left = true;
         right = false;
     }
     private void Flip()
     {
         Vector3 scale = transform.localScale;
         scale.x *= -1;
         transform.localScale = scale;
         facingRight = !facingRight;
 
     }
 
     public void Update()
     {
         right = target.position.x > transform.position.x && !facingRight;
         left = target.position.x < transform.position.x && facingRight;
 
             if (Vector3.Distance(target.position, transform.position) < 600)
         {
 
             transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);
 
             if (right == true) //if the target is to the right of enemy and the enemy is not facing right
                 Flip();
             if (left == true)
                 Flip();
         }
 
         if (Vector3.Distance(target.position, transform.position) < 20)
         {
             transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);
         }
         else
         {
             transform.Translate(Vector2.right * speed * Time.deltaTime);
         }
     }
 }

I also added a chase character function in the script above for fun. The problem is the punching bag is always getting punched towards the right. The animation works smoothly which is weird because the animation relies on which way the payer is to the punching bag. Can somebody please help?
