Conponent wont scale up in one direction

[NerdRebellion]

I am trying to have a static mesh component scale in one direction because I have a script that requires it to grow a certain length in order to simulate a laser with limited range. Unfortunately the beam (mesh) grows from both sides, Even When I make an arrow the parent and try to grow it that way. Any ideas?
