How do I simply rotate an object that's already moving?

I have a prop that’s attached to another prop that is being moved via sequencer. I need to rotate the child prop when a button is pressed. How would I accomplish this? Since I have to input the translation into the MoveTo() function, it causes bugs because the translation would never keep up with the parent object.
Here is my button InteractedWithEvent code.

    LowerTeam1Lance(Agent : agent):void=
        block:
            Print("Team 1 Lowering Lance")
            #GET THE CURRENT ROTATION OF THE LANCE
#Setup Basic Transform Information
            Team1LanceTransform := Team1Lance.GetTransform()
            Team1LanceRotation := Team1LanceTransform.Rotation
            #ROTATE THE LANCE INTO ATTACK POSITION OVER TIME
            var Yaw : float = -20.0
            var Pitch : float = 0.0
            var Roll : float = 90.0
            NewLanceRotation : rotation = MakeRotationFromYawPitchRollDegrees(Yaw, Pitch, Roll)
            spawn:
                Team1Lance.MoveTo(Team1LanceTransform.Translation, NewLanceRotation, 1.5)
            #ROTATE THE LANCE BACK INTO THE INITIAL POSITION
