How to attach object to other object?

you can use parenting:

and you can also link using expressions

Learn expression basics to link animations in Adobe After Effects

both options are easy to set up using the parent & link column:

you parent between layers, you link between properties. these are different things so you should explore what suits you better.

Just to add to Roei's answer:

In case the Parent & Link column is not visible in your timeline - rick click in the timeline column header area: Columns > Parent & Link.
