If you’re trying to simulate volumetric lighting and don’t have the budget for Trapcode Lux (an excellent product) you can use a script developed by Peter Torpey called “Volume Light”.
Its free and available here: https://www.petertorpey.com/tutorials/volume_light/

Have you tried reinstalling the AVCCAM Importer software from Panasonic?

Other than using the pick whip attach the anchor point to the other layer’s position?
So the expression on the layer’s anchor point would look something like:
thisComp.layer(“other layer name”).transform.position
You may have to offset the position of the layer to account for the shift in anchor point.
Or use a Null Object as a parent and place the Null in the position you want the rotation to occur.

Sounds like you drew the mask with Rotobezier checked.
Select the mask and from the Layer Menu select Mask Shape and Path and uncheck Rotobezier.
The direction handles will return to your mask.

Make a copy of the fractal layer and PreCompose it.
Turn the duplicate fractal layer’s visibility off.
Apply Displacement Map to the layer (the stars?) you want to move with the curtain.
Adjust to suit.

One other minor difference is the location of the Preferences menu item.
On Windows its at the bottom of the Edit menu, on the its on the After Effects menu which is just to the left of the File menu.
