Changing Player Look Direction

I am trying to make a sword that when right-clicked on a mob it will teleport the player behind the mob's back and make the player look at the mob's back. I got the teleporting part of that down but I can not for the life of me figure out how to change the direction the player is looking. I have already tried using set rotation a few different ways but that did not seem to work. If this is possible I would like to know how to do it.

Use set rotation block, this…

Use set rotation block, this one is for it. If it does not work, show the setup you have so far

I do not know what/how to do pitch, but I do not believe it is necessary because I only want to look at the mob's back not up and down. I tried the "Direction (yaw) in deg. relative to S of event/target entity" block, and I tried just doing the "look z position of event/target entity with raytrace distance of 0" block in the "Yaw" part of the set rotation block. Both of the attempts failed and being the inexperienced dev I am I have no clue what to try next. I'm sorry I did not just do screenshots, but I can not get them to upload here so I had to type them out. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I can not find how to use this block anywhere. Now if i understand how pitch and yaw work, and how the Set rotation should work I should be able to get the mob's yaw and then set the player's yaw to the mob's yaw. If this understanding is incorrect please tell me.
