Trying to place a an object in AR on a detected plane, using Visual Scripting (Bolt) in Unity

I am trying to convert the script below to a visual script (Bolt) in Unity.
The application uses AR foundation to detect a plane, then place a game object on the plane when you tap the screen.

Here is a video of that (The demonstrations starts at 1:30)


The script works, I am just not that familiar with Visual Scripting.

Here is the script

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.XR.ARFoundation; using UnityEngine.XR.ARSubsystems; [RequireComponent(typeof(ARRaycastManager))] public class PlaceScript : MonoBehaviour {     public GameObject portalToPlace;     private GameObject spawnedPOrtal;     ARRaycastManager arRaycastManager;     Vector2 touchPosition;     static List<ARRaycastHit> hits = new List<ARRaycastHit>();          // Start is called before the first frame update     void Start()     {         arRaycastManager = GetComponent<ARRaycastManager>();     }     // Update is called once per frame     void Update()     {         if (!TryGetTouchPosition(out Vector2 touchPosition))             return;         if (arRaycastManager.Raycast(touchPosition, hits, TrackableType.PlaneWithinPolygon))         {             var hitpose = hits[0].pose;             if (spawnedPOrtal == null)             {                                  spawnedPOrtal = Instantiate(portalToPlace, hitpose.position, hitpose.rotation);                 //spawnedPOrtal = Instantiate(portalToPlace, hitpose.position, portalRotation.rotation);             }         }             }          bool TryGetTouchPosition(out Vector2 touchPosition)     {        if (Input.touchCount > 0)         {             touchPosition = Input.GetTouch(0).position;             return true;         }         touchPosition = default;         return false;     } }

and this is what I have in VS:
