	rotateToNormal will rotate everything using a rotation matrix which is generated using a quaternion (glm::quat).
	for this we use the function glm::rotation(glm::vec3 v1, glm::vec3 v2) which takes in two normalized vectors and returns
	a quaternion that represents the rotation between these two vectors.
	We will use the normal which is passed to this function and the standard z axis.
