can't make the masks work correctly

Question

I cannot make the masks work correctly. I make a mask (for instance for the subject) yet when I adjust something like the exposure, the whole image brightens or darkens instead of the part selected by the mask. It used to work but now has this problem. Using MacOS

My understanding is that I am adjusting the exposure on the basic panel instead of the mask panel but I cannot find the adjustment for the masked image. I think there should be a little triangle to twirl next to where I see Mask 1, and this should bring upthe mask panel. What am I doing wrong?but it is not there. See attached image.

How about a more complete screenshot of your develop module. One showing the entire screen or at least the loupe view ans the right side panels.

Curious to see your mask overlay.

Also, thinking it may be nice to see the mask control panel (probably un-docked, just to the left of the right side panel)

P.S. an actual screen capture as opposed to a photo works better.

I like using a third party app for screenshots (captures)
