Hello.

I search to dynamically show the position info of an element inside a text layer with an AE expression.

Good for you.

If all you want is the position information select the text layer and press the 'u' key twice to reveal the Source Text property. Select the layer with the position value you want to read. Press Shift + F4 to reveal the Parent/Link column. Drag the pickwhip from Source Text to the Position property of the layer and you're done. Your screenshot looks like you have already done that. but you have added 60 pixels in Y to one value and subtracted 60 pixels in Y for the other. 

 

I am not sure what you are asking here. The screenshot you attached looks like it is working. What do you want to happen?
