Screen to Geo translation going wrong

I have a mobile app with its own UI and the a local arcgis map rendered underneath, the map can either follow the player or have a top down, north up view which allows panning and zooming.

I am passing pan commands to unity (see offset in the code below) and attempting to move the camera to the new location.

var worldPoint = cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3((Screen.width / 2.0f) - offset.x, (Screen.height / 2.0f) + offset.y, cam.nearClipPlane));

var arcgisPoint = arcGISMapComponent.EngineToGeographic(worldPoint);

var location = ArcGISGeometryEngine.Project(arcgisPoint, ArcGISSpatialReference.WGS84());

if (location is ArcGISPoint locationPoint)

{

// set cam location to locationPoint.X,locationPoint.Y

....

I think I am missing a step because when I drag across the full width of the screen I get a very small change in camera location.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Note follow the player and zooming is working.

Might have been some build/integration issue - code is working with only superficial changes
