To change the size you can double-click over the path of your mask. It will appear a transform box around your mask. To expand, you can access to the mask expansion parameter inside your masks. Press double "M" on your keyboard to access to the Mask Expansion parameter.

I actually figured that out again but thank you! my new issue is this

 

Clip 1 has a mask i made for only splitted part of the video and Clip 2 also has a mask I made only for that split of the video. the mask with a red arrow is for clip 1 and the mask with a blue arrow is for clip 2 but heres the issue both of those mask are shown in both split tracks of the video

 

How do i delete the blue mask from clip 1 so it only has the red one and delete the red mask from clip 2 so it only has the blue one?

Select the layer in the timeline panel, press "M" and AE will show you all the masks for this layer. Then select the mask you want to delete and press Backspace or Delete button on your keyboard.
