I don't grok what you are trying to say, the excerpt of the unit file
is too short. Please provide the relevant parts of the other unit
files too.

Masking is a big hammer, the last resort. It should not be part of the
usual workflow.

Note that Requires= in almost all cases should be combined with an
order dep of After= onto the same unit. If the unit above doesn't do
that it's almost certainly broken.
