I've looked for this answer everywhere and the only answer I found was here https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/why-does-my-path-change-position-when-i-paste-it-to-a-mask-or-position/m-p/6036243#M7451

and still, it does not help me.
So let's settle this for once and for all.
How DO I SOLVE THIS?

Error or problem

Hello (maybe it's better to start with this)

As explained in the reference post, modified paramteters in your layer/comp may get this problem...

For example, if you change the scale of the target and/or of the origine of your path, then this will not work.

To solve it, you need to pre-compose the layer/comp that are not set with all default parameters with moving all the attributes into the new comp, then trace your path or copy it on its position.
