  If I understand correctly what you’re asking, just select the mask vertex you want to be the start & end point and go to Layer > Mask and Shape Path > Set First Vertex.

  The default first vertex is the first one made when the mask was drawn and is indicated by a larger square than the other vertices. The currently selected vertex is indicated by a filled square instead of the outlined squares the other vertices have.
