The Anomalous Viscous Fluid Dynamics (AVFD) framework is utilized to generate $^{197}_{79}Au+^{197}_{79}Au$, $^{96}_{44}Ru+^{96}_{44}Ru$, and $^{96}_{40}Zr+^{96}_{40}Zr$ collision events at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV, aiming to investigate the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME). The CME signal is modulated through the axial charge per entropy density ($n_5/s$), varied as 0.0, 0.1, and 0.2 to produce distinct data sets with varying CME signal strengths. Additionally, a 33$\%$ local charge conservation (LCC) is implemented in each event. These data sets are analyzed using CME-sensitive two- and three-particle correlators. Furthermore, the Sliding Dumbbell Method (SDM) is employed to identify potential CME-like events within each data set. The identified events exhibit characteristics consistent with CME. The CME fraction in these events is quantified while accounting for backgrounds derived from charge shuffle events and correlated background contributions. No enhancement in the CME signal is observed in $Ru+Ru$ collisions compared to $Zr+Zr$ collisions, despite the presence of four additional protons in $^{96}_{44}Ru$ nuclei compared to $^{96}_{40}Zr$ nuclei.
