Adjusting Handles in Sequence Text

I need to replicate the text effects of an older project, which involves swinging text using the Sequence Text effect so it comes in one word at a time. However, I cannot figure out how to move the handles so the swinging happens from the top instead of the bottom.

Here is positioning from the older project, where the handles are at the top:

And the same Sequence Text applied in a new project, where it's stuck on the bottom left:

I've tried moving the Anchor Point, but it only effects the the original text when I need to manipulate the Sequence Text specifically.

I'm still fairly new with Motion, so I'm sure I'm missing something painfully obvious, but I've exhausted my search on trying to figure out this particular problem. Thank you guys so much for any insight!
