Subtracting one mask from another in Premiere.

Engaged ,

I was very surprised that the effect Masks in Premiere don't have the same features as AE. Particularly, when I need to have overlapping maps on a single effect. I'm wondering if there is any kind of work-around or hidden setting anyone is aware of?

 

Scenerio, I have a device screen I want to color correct independantly of the overall scene. However, the actor's finger moves over the screen at one point. I created the first mask on my second instance of Lumetri to grade the screen. Basic rectangle. Next, I added another freeform mask with the pen tool around the tip of the finger and tracked for several frames as it moves over the screen.

 

The next and intuitive option would be to tell premiere to subtract the 2nd mask from the first, so my color correction only applies to the screen and doesn't mess up what I've already done to the overall scene (including the finger). That option doesn't exist, and "Inverted" doesn't actually apply to the mask above but the whole frame.
