So, as simple as that, why does it happen? It's smaller.

On this pics you'll see it, I'm copying mask path from layer #12 to layer's #5 position, both layers scale is %100.

If you are trying to copy a vector path and paste it as a motion path the layer containing the vector path cannot be repositioned, scaled, rotated or transformed in any other way. It is also a very good idea to have the layer the same size as your comp but it's not entirely necessary. Layer 12  is parented to Layer 1 (Null  45) and if the null has been scaled it will foul up the copied path. Another thing that may be going on is that your comp is nonsquare pixels and the text layer is square pix

Another thing that may be going on is that your comp is nonsquare pixels and the text layer is square pixels. Check the null first, remove parenting and see what happens to the scale on layer 12.
