    Hey @abhinav_kenchi244,

    If you can share a public link to your document, people can have a closer look.

    You can try out a tangent mate, between the ball surface and the channel. You can also have a look if this Tech Tip can be helpful: https://www.onshape.com/en/resource-center/tech-tips/advanced-mating-pin-slot-tangent-mate
