New to Unreal and I need help with camera controls

What I am working on is a side-scroller beat-em-up. I played around with the side scroller and 2d side scroller blueprint, and decided to go with a 3rd person template so it can be more like Double Dragon and Battletoads. Meaning that the character doesn’t just walk on a straight line but can move up and down along a platform.

I have gone into the blueprints and disabled the camera from following behind the character and have it set off to the side like I want. But the problem is that the camera follows the character when they move up and down on the platform and I only want it to move left to right. I think I may end up using the RailArm where I can have twists and turns on the road, but not letting the camera zoom and move in is bugging me.
