Adding children to the list during the game.

Question

I have objects stacked throughout the game. And each object added to the top becomes the child of the bottom object (lefthand). I'm trying to find the last child and reach his place. I'm trying to add kids to my list with the code below. However, when I check, children are not added to the list. There must be a mistake but I couldn't find what happened.

 public class move : MonoBehaviour
 {
    
   public GameObject lefthand;
   public GameObject righthand;
   public Animator anim;
   public float speed;
    public GameObject lefttrig;
    public List<GameObject> childleft = new List<GameObject>();
     
 
     private void Start()
     {
        
 
         if (lefthand.transform.childCount>0)
         {
             foreach (Transform t in lefthand.transform)
             {
                
                childleft.Add(t.gameObject);
            
             }
         }
        
     }
 
     private void Update()
   {
        
 
        GameObject lastchild = childleft[childleft.Count-1];
 
        if (lefthand.transform.childCount>1)
        {
           lefttrig.transform.position = lastchild.transform.position;
         }
       }

You should be really thinking about making a parent class and have a List<GameObject> children that you add to every time you attach a child.

 public class Child : Parent{
     void AddToParent(){
         //Add to parent transform
         base.children.Add(this);
