[UNET] Method called on client but not on host player

Hello! So I'm currently working on a multiplayer game using the network manager, and it's basically a game where you have to keep your laser aimed at other players to desactivate them. My laser is working perfectly, but the problem I have is that the clients can use it and desactivate other players, but the host can't use it, and I have no idea why since this is the very first time I do a multiplayer game.

So this is the laser function that's on the player prefab :

 [Client]
     void ActivateLaser ()
     {
         laserTimer += Time.deltaTime;
 
         RaycastHit _hit;
         if (Physics.Raycast (m_Camera.transform.position, m_Camera.transform.forward, out _hit, Mathf.Infinity)) 
         {
             if (_hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "Player") 
             {
                 string _hitName = _hit.collider.name;
 
                 if (GameManager.GetPlayer (_hitName).isActive) 
                 {
                     laserHitTimer += Time.deltaTime;
                     m_PlayerManager.LaserHoldingScore (laserHitTimer);
 
                     if (laserHitTimer >= desactivationLaserTime) 
                     {
                         LaserHit (_hitName);
                         laserHitTimer = 0.0f;
                     }
                 }
             }
         }
         else
         {
             laserHitTimer = 0.0f;
         }
     }
         
     void LaserHit (string _hitPlayerID)
     {
         PlayerManager _hitplayer = GameManager.GetPlayer (_hitPlayerID);
         PlayerManager _hittingPlayer = GameManager.GetPlayer (this.name);
 
         if (_hitplayer.isActive) 
         {
             _hitplayer.Desactivate ();
             _hittingPlayer.DesactivationScore ();
         }
     }

(I've obviously tried to remove the [Client] attribute but it didn't fix the problem). And this is the code used to get the player ID :

 private static Dictionary <string, PlayerManager> players = new Dictionary <string, PlayerManager> ();
 
     public static void RegisterPlayer (string _netID, PlayerManager _player)
     {
         string _playerID = "Player " + _netID;
         players.Add (_playerID, _player);
         _player.transform.name = _playerID;
     }
 
     public static PlayerManager GetPlayer (string _playerID)
     {
         return players [_playerID];
     }

Thanks a lot for giving me some of your time! :)
