Movement script preventing gravity

Hello! First time user here. So, I have no idea what I’m doing, but we’ve all been there at one point right?
For some reason, My character isn’t affected by gravity when this is active:

float xPos = transform.position.x + (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * moveSpeed);
playerPos = new Vector3(Mathf.Clamp(xPos, -50, 50), 0, 0);
transform.position = playerPos;

When this part of the script is gone, the Gravity suddenly works, but I can’t move (as expected).
In the Rigidbody, “Use Gravity” is checked and “Is Kinematic” is unchecked.

This is the entire script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class IceDeeMovement : MonoBehaviour {
	
		public float moveSpeed = 0.3f;
		public Vector3 playerPos;
		void Update()
		{
			float xPos = transform.position.x + (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * moveSpeed);
			playerPos = new Vector3(Mathf.Clamp(xPos, -50, 50), 0, 0);
			transform.position = playerPos;
		}
	}

Can someone tell me what’s wrong?

Duplicate question, I answered the last one.
