FlowAlongSurface not working properly

Hello, i have been trying to make a simple iced out heart pendant. I made the shape and laid out the stones flat first. I made the top of the pendant (where the stones will be) slightly rounded so i wanted to use FlowAlongSurface for the stones to match the shape. But it does not work as intended.
Can someone point out what have I done wrong and what can i do to achieve the intended results?

The two surfaces need the same definition. Currently the target is revolved and the source is a plane surface

It works fine if you use the target surface and scale it vertically by factor 0

This is because the UV structores of the two surfaces (Base surfce and target surface) are different, causing FlowAlongSrf to not meet your expectation. Here’s a solution for your reference.
