What is different?
Does x,y,z not equal r,theta,phi in post #29?

Several of us have already explained to you several times what is wrong with your thinking. You need to go back and read the posts above carefully.

Posts 19, 21, and 24 all told you that the position vector $\vec r = r * \hat r$ . I'm glad you finally arrived at the correct conclusion.

No, from the beginning everybody posting in this thread tried to tell you that you could not just assume that and help you figure it out for yourself. Then, finally, it was put explicitly in post #19.
