Created Mario like camera, now my player jitters when jumping

Originally my camera just locked onto the player and follow it at the center of the screen. When I use that code everything is fine. However I created a mario like camera that only moves when the player reaches a specific point of the screen, it works however my camera jitters all over the place when jumping, not sure if it is moving too fast for the camera but I am very confused.

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class CameraFollower : MonoBehaviour { public GameObject player; public Vector2 followOffset; public float speed = 10; private Vector2 threshold;

 private PlayerPlatformerController playerRb;

 private void Start()
 {
     threshold = calculateThreshold();
     playerRb = player.GetComponent<PlayerPlatformerController>();
 }

 void FixedUpdate()
 {
     Vector2 follow = player.transform.position;
     float xDifference = Vector2.Distance(Vector2.right * transform.position.x, Vector2.right * follow.x);
     float yDifference = Vector2.Distance(Vector2.up * transform.position.y, Vector2.up * follow.y);

     Vector3 newPosition = transform.position;

     if(Mathf.Abs(xDifference) >= threshold.x)
     {
         newPosition.x = follow.x;
     }
     if(Mathf.Abs(yDifference) >= threshold.y)
     {
         newPosition.y = follow.y;
     }

     float moveSpeed = playerRb.GetVelocity().magnitude > speed ? playerRb.GetVelocity().magnitude : speed;
     transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, newPosition, moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
 }

 Vector3 calculateThreshold()
 {
     Rect aspect = Camera.main.pixelRect;
     Vector2 t = new Vector2(Camera.main.orthographicSize * aspect.width / aspect.height, Camera.main.orthographicSize);
     t.x -= followOffset.x;
     t.y -= followOffset.y;
     return t;
 }

 //draws blue box for the deadzone
 void OnDrawGizmos()
 {
     Gizmos.color = Color.blue;
     Vector2 border = calculateThreshold();
     Gizmos.DrawWireCube(transform.position, new Vector3(border.x * 2, border.y * 2, 1));
 }

}
