For the life of me the simplest task is holding me up and when I get the answer I all ready know I’m gonna feel dumber.
Can someone walk me through or have a picture of how to correctly cut/ run/overlap/ the drip edge at a pitch change from a 12/12 to a 4/12?
A special drill bit and color-matched fasteners lets composite or PVC deck fascia boards expand and contract to minimize warping.

Run the 4 roof part up to the 12 and leave it sq. cut. Bring the end of the 12 down and cut off the roof nail surface back about 2", leave the face alone. Lay it on and make a plumb cut on the face but bend the overhang lip to lap the 4/12 and the roof nail flange will butt or slightly lap.
Clear as mud?

Yup, as I predicted I do in deed feel much dumber. As usual in my faults, I was trying to make things way more complicated than need be. You ought to see the 2' of drip I sacrificed into little 3" pieces of origami trying to picture how it should work out. Stretching to see any of the surrounding houses' roof lines for an example. As my boss said last week; "When you've been doing things for so long, you forget just how many ways it could be done wrong." I think I found every possible wrong way to do it on this one, until your answer. Thanks so much.

Don't feel alone... I've found drip edge not the easiest thing to work. It's hard to make roof corners look good too.
