The model of the solar system as planets rotating mostly within a flat plane around the sun
This hasn’t been the prevailing theory in a while. Actually, that’s true for most of the simplified models we learned in elementary school. What you describe is quite a bit closer to the prevailing theory.
I did not think it was a prevailing theory. Now I’m curious about what you wanted to accomplish by asking that question. Why would it matter either way?

Oh, well that’s good to know. Thanks! I guess I need to update my own knowledge of what prevailing thought is.
Did you really think that what you were able to infer from basic knowledge about the motion of the planets was not realized by scientists?
