I see. The rectangles you created are masks, and will not work this way, unfortunately. You need to de-select every layer and create a shape with the pen-tool, and you'll see that a new shape-layer will be created automatically.

You need to deselect all the layers by clicking somewhere below, where no layer is. If you use the pen-tool then, a new shape layer will be created.

You can do this quite easily without content-aware fill or anything like it. I'd tackle this by doing the following:

* create a rough shape for each tracking-point (the color doesn't matter)
* track each point using the native after-effects tracker and apply the track to the corresponding shape.
* All the shapes should now stick to their tracked point. Precompose all the shapes.
* Under "track-mattes" you can now select your shape-precomp as "invered alpha-matte". This cuts out the opaque areas of the shapes, effectively removing the tracking-points.
* Key your footage.

I hope this helped you, have a nice day!
