  Use the arrow tool and double click the edge of your mask. It will change to a bounding box where you can scale or rotate your mask. You’ll see the mask then does have it’s own anchor point which you can move. Obviously use the ‘mask shape’ parameter to keyframe the changes you make to animate the mask.

  Or you can use the layer’s scale function. Then where the mask is relative to the anchor point of the layer depends how it scales and rotates.
