Im trying to rotate instance around impact normal and it works when rotation of actor is 0. But problems come when i rotate actor. From link you can see what happens.

How could i rotate instance around normal like at beginning no matter what is rotation of actor?

No it doesnt help. Its exactly same problem after rotating actor where instances exist.
