Fix weird interactions between plane and player model

Implemented a UI overlay in `ParticlesComponent` for manual plane orientation selection with buttons for different orientations. Added lock/unlock toggle to control automatic orientation adjustment. Refactored `IntersectionPlaneService` to support locked state and manual orientation updates. Updated styles and layout to integrate the new controls seamlessly.
