Unity2D Enemy RigidBody Sticking To Player - unity3d

Question

Video example: https://imgur.com/a/d7MRjVG
Hello, my enemy object is getting stuck to my player object and dragged along. Normally, the enemy has a much lower movement speed than my player does. But when stuck to the player, the enemy essentially inherits my player's movement. I should note that this ONLY happens when the enemy is higher than my player ie has a greater Y position
Player is a rigidbody with Kinematic type
Enemy is a rigidbody with Dynamic type (I wanted this so I can push enemies aside)
Enemy is scripted not to attempt movement if too close to the player as well
The enemy has a pretty basic movement script
