Choose the Direct Select tool (white arrow), and click the anchor point on a corner you want to move.

You can drag that corner manually, or use the arrow keys to nudge it in any direction. Nudge each top corner out the same number of key-taps:

With the shape and the image on your artboard, position the shape over and in front of the image. Size everything as desired, and with both selected choose Object > Clipping Mask > Make.
