How to get a marker to move with its reference frame?

Hi, I'm learning how to use markers in rviz, currently using ros noetic. I successfully created a marker and can get it to show in rviz just fine, but when I move my model the marker stays in the same place in the space, it doesn't follow its reference frame. Any idea on how to fix this and get the marker moving with its respective reference frame?

are you using the frame_locked parameter of the Marker msg?

As the user mcevoyandy commented, al I needed to do is to add the frame_locked parameter, so with only this set as true, the marker moves keeping its position relative to its reference frame:

self.marker_object.frame_locked = True
