how to position and resize an image mask on my System Composer "component" block

When I insert an image mask over my System Composer component block, the image obscures the block title and port names. I have not found a way to adjust the position and size of the image mask to avoid this. Search results give the image() command: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/image.html but this is for Simulink blocks, not System Composer component blocks.
I also got setMaskImage command here which is specifically for System Composer component blocks: https://www.mathworks.com/help/systemcomposer/ref/systemcomposer.arch.architecture.setmaskimage.html but it does not list adjusting position and size of the mask image.
How would I go about adjusting the System Composer component mask image to improve the look and not obscure other important block name and port names?

Hi @Frank,
If you put this file into your userpath and restart matlab, it will add a right-click option to change the IconTransparency setting on components that you have masked. This is a work-around but I have also submitted an enhancement request to make this accessible via the GUI.
You can find your userpath by typing:
>>userpath
If you already have a file called sl_customizations in there, please send me a message because we will have to merge them

Hi Frank,
I double-checked and this is a bug in R2024b Update 5 that is fixed in the next update.

Okay. Thanks. I am currently using System Composer R2024b Update 4 (Version 24.2.)

Hi Frank,
When setting the mask image for System Composer component block using ‘setMaskImage’ function, use ‘IconTransparency’ input argument and set it to ‘opaque-with-ports’ to ensure that the image does not obscure the port and block name.
Syntax:
comp.Architecture.setMaskImage(FilePath="Filepath", IconTransparency="opaque-with-ports");
Appearance before and after specifying the Icon Transparency argument:
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the response, but I do not know enough about programmatically working with System Composer architecture models. I am pretty good with matlab commands for data processing and some Simulink model settings but not with System Composer or Simscape, at least yet. Glad to know Math Works implemented a way to adjust the image mask. So I don't spend another hour+ on trying to resolve this (it should be a <10 sec operation), are you aware of a straight-forward GUI approach? With the model open I click the FORMAT tab and see nothing under the "Edit Image" menu drop down or when I use the "Edit Block icon image" insert mask image click-flow. Nor can I find any menu command when I select the system composer component block and click-right to see the pop-up menu choices. I looked under "Format" and "Properties"...nothing. Lastly, I also checked under the component's PropertyInspector...nothing.
