Problems with instantiating

Question

Hi guys, I'm trying to create a random loot chest but when I try to instantiate the prefab the location is always messed up, but when I tried with a new gameobject it worked fine and I can't understand why ...

here's the code: public GameObject[] Loot; public Transform LootSpawnPoint;

     int random;
 
     private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
     {
         random = Random.Range(0, Loot.Length);
         if(other.collider.CompareTag("Player"))
         {
             Instantiate(Loot[random], LootSpawnPoint.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
         }
     }

and a pic (he shoe is the prefab that should have spawned in the gameobject position):

Two things spring to mind, but I don't know if either helps:

If LootSpawnPoint is of type Transform, do you need to call LootSpawnPoint.transform.position, or just LootSpawnPoint.position?
I think Random.Range(0, 1) can return both 0 and 1, therefore you might have an out of bounds error calling Loot[random] (So if Loot.Length is 1, you could be accidentally trying to call the second, non-existent element of Loot)?

ehm the problem is none of these ... it must be the prefab pivot that is messed up, how can I fix it?
