You can use the fill transform tool.
It it in the tools panel It is a vertical gradient-ish bar with a rotate symbol and a scale symbol next to it (rotate symbol on top of the scale symbol)
Click this tool, then click on the shape with your fill. It will then create a bounding box with handles you can click and drag to scale/rotate your fill.

Yeah, that tool was a mystery to me for the longest time.
One thing to note about it: You fill _must be deselected_ before you click on select this tool. And then after you select this tool you use it to click on your fill.
I would always end up selecting my fill first then trying to use the tool, but it would never work 😛

had that covered after 3 times duh. Strange thing about the tool is are the 3 circle on the Right top and the 3 square on the left bottom. Circle for rotation and sqaure for scaling.
I got a little problem with the squares, trying to use alt , shift ctrl but it doesn’t do what i sespected it woould do.
Hmm, well just playing
