Because I was not accounting for the compositions to have different scales.
Given those numbers if you change the code to:
ref=comp("Man");
a=comp("Man").layer("mouth").position;
b=100/thisComp.layer("mouth").transform.scale[0];
nx=a[0]-ref.width/2;
ny=a[1]-ref.height/2;
[nx*1.45/b+(thisComp.width/2),ny*1.45/b+(thisComp.height/2)]A layer named mouth in Horse comp with this expression applied to its position would match the position of the same layer in the man comp in any third reference composition. You should notice that the 1.45 is the difference in scale between Man and Horse comps. (in case you adjust things)
Remember that those comps still must have the same aligned center. If you need the other way around, you just change the value from 1.45 to 0.69 (thats ~0,6896… or 30/43,5‬).

I disregarded the 3d part, my bad. Maybe instead of toComp, use toWorld ?
This layer space transformations don’t come naturally to me. It usually trial and error until I get it working.

if you don’t want something to scale, forget about scalling…use the bottom null’s position for the link.
Instead of parenting and compensating (as I understood you’re trying), link the hook’s position with an expression:
a=thisComp.layer("Null Line Bottom");
a.toComp(a.anchorPoint)Cassius Marques

If you managed to do that with 3d layers, all you have to do is create a light, turn on cast shadows for the light and for the layer’s material options too.

I checked the project, there is a bunch of missing footage (not sure if I need them anyway). But from where are the frames supposed to be missing?

I require more information here. Missing where? on the rendered output? on the plugin’s output?
Can you upload the project? Post a video? screenshots? I can wonder on a bunch of things that could be happening. But It would be hard guesses with that little description.

I’ve never seen that before, please give some feedback if you ever figure it out. That description seems like the guide layer’s behavior for a camera, but as far as I know, you can’t do that to cameras.

No setting you can change creates that behavior. Try to update video drivers or reset AE’s preferences. maybe reinstall if it all else fails.
