Essential Graphics with text

I am creating a lower third that can only be placed in a certain location and needs to avoid a TV bug on screen.

 

I need the text to skew horizontal up to a certain point.  Does anyone know a formula I could use to make this happen?

In addition to what @Peru Bob said, you need to place the anchor point at the bottom of the layer to skew only upwards

Can you post a screenshot showing the lower third and TV bug in the program monitor, also showing your timeline and essential graphics panel?

I did create the essential graphic in after effects. 

 

Attached is what I've got.

If I understand right, you want to decrease the font size of the text automatically when it reaches the bug, you may find this tutorial to be useful:

Unlink the width and height of Motion Properties in the Effects Control Panel and keyframe the length, width and/or the position.
