I’ve configured my selection method via Edit > Preferences > Keymap > Select with Mouse Button to Right Click, which makes Left Click the default for placing the 3D Cursor.

However, when I Left Click on a mesh to place the 3D Cursor on its surface, the cursor appears to snap correctly at first, visually it seems to land on the surface:

Cursor visually appears as if it's on the surface

But once I rotate the viewport, I notice that the cursor didn't actually land on the mesh, and is instead floating somewhere behind it.

Cursor not on surface as seen when changing viewport angle

It’s as if Blender is ignoring the surface and placing the cursor at a point along the camera ray but deeper into the scene, not on the object I clicked.

You probably have Surface Project turned off:

Surface Project Checked

Or you have disabled it under Edit > Preferences > Editing > 3D Cursor > Surface Project:

Preferences Surface Project

Try to enable all of these checkboxes.
