There is a logical problem with my JQuery, can't figure out why.

so basically the function of this jquery is to add an html element (Phone number) whenever the sticky menu appears as. Basically whenever the user scrolls down, the phone number appears, but if they go all the way up the element added disappears. I found this to be a great way to practice Jquery

here is the page https://advocatesidaho.staging.wpengine.com/ //file path /customjs/fjapp.js

the if statement within the if statement is supposed to not keep adding that element over and over.

//This is my code

jQuery(window).scroll(function (){

var iScrollPos = 0;
var iCurScrollPos = $(this).scrollTop();
let addNumber = jQuery('<a id="stickyPhone" class="formPhone" href="tel:+12089952444">(208) 995-2444</a>');

if(iCurScrollPos > iScrollPos)  //  if the  user scrolls down
{
    if(jQuery('.hmenu_social_holder.hmenu_hide_for_mobile #stickyPhone').length <= 0) // if the element exist, then dont do it.
    {
        jQuery(".hmenu_social_holder.hmenu_hide_for_mobile").append(addNumber);
    }


}

else{
    jQuery('.hmenu_social_holder.hmenu_hide_for_mobile #stickyPhone').remove();   // remove the element once the user has scrolled all the way up.
}

});

It seems to be working on the live site. It appears as you scroll down, and vanishes when you scroll back up.

Can you explain more about what problem you are having?
