Linking visuals and motion tracking advice needed

Hello, I'm working on a pretty big animation at the moment and would love to be able to speed up my workflow with motion tracking or something like that.

The easiest way to explain what I want is showing you this previous animation I made, its the same style I'm making this next one: https://www.theosparks.com/portfolio/sticker-mation/

so its an animation where I stick stickers around the place, and each one is a different frame of my animation, that I then link back up again in after effects so you can see the animation correctly.

So I had to re-adjust the position, scale and rotation of every frame so it matches perfectly (having the original animation on the layer above at 50% opacity so I can match it up).

I've made 3 other projects like this since then, and each one I had to do this manually for every frame and its quite a chore, especially with the project that was over 1000 frames!

So I ask you, after effects gurus, is there a way to automate this task in after effects? something to do with motion tracking? I've tried some basic tutorials on the suubject, but I dont think it's the same way other people need it to be done, like linking up every frame perfectly like that. I tried asking chat gpt if its possible and he said yes but I dont know if hes right.

Any ideas? 

Thanks a lot,

Theo.
