Beginner problems: Animating Tracker Offsets

Hello all. New to fusion and having trouble getting my head around connecting to the tracker. I am trying to connect the center of a "Dent" node to a track to shrink a characters head. I can connect the center of the dent to the tracker and that is great. But I need to make some little tweaks to the motion of the track and once I connect to the tracker I cannot modify the position.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Would love any help you can give.
Cheers,
Nathan

If you're happy with the most part of the track, you can first connect to the tracker (like you just did) and then right-click on the connected center and look for insert-->off-set. If you select this, you'll get one center connected to the tracker (like you have now) and one center that you can animate, so you can correct the motion in places where you want it to. I hope this helps.

This totally helps thank you so much. One last question if I could, when ever I insert that offset it moves the original tracker location. Is there a way to insert that offset and have it maintain the current position?

I am not behind Fusion right now, but I think off-sets default to - well - an off-set.
So if you set that off-set (the non-connected one) to x/y 0/0 you should be good to go I think.
If not, please let us know.
