Making a bubble level (not a game but work tool)

Question

Hi, im trying to make a bubble level. But i'm having some issues. I got 2 objects where i check the difference in Z axis. I use this (psuede)code

     movement = randomObject1.position.z - randomObject2.position.z;
     bubble.transform.position = new Vector3(0f,0f,movement); //moves in Z direction

But the bubble keeps moving continuesly but i'm what I want is when the movement variable gets bigger/more/higher the bubble moves more to the left or right, but now it keeps moving continuesly with the speed it gets from movement. So my question is if you have any solutions for the movement. I maybe thought by adding forces or something but i have no clue how that works.

By the way.. this is a bubble level alt text

Already fixed the problem I used standard transform.position and added forces against. This is my script.

     void BubbleMovement(){
         float xF1 = AdjustF1.transform.position.y;
         float xF3 = AdjustF3.transform.position.y;
         float movement = xF1 - xF3;
         float zForce = 0.1f;
         curPosZ = bubble.transform.position.z;
         if (locked) {

             if(movement >= 0.1f && curPosZ > minMoveZ){ 
                 bubble.transform.position = new Vector3(bubble.transform.position.x, bubble.transform.position.y, bubble.transform.position.z + (movement * Time.deltaTime / 50f) );
                 bubble.rigidbody.AddForce(0f,0f,-zForce, ForceMode.Force);
             }
             if(movement <= -0.1f && curPosZ < maxMoveZ){
                 bubble.transform.position = new Vector3(bubble.transform.position.x, bubble.transform.position.y, bubble.transform.position.z - (movement * Time.deltaTime / 50f) );
                 bubble.rigidbody.AddForce(0f,0f,zForce, ForceMode.Force);
             }                
         }
     }
