Uta face was sliced off vertically very clean, it's like chopping half of the head so the mask which adorns all the face would fly off too. kaneki mask remains because it has a strap for the back head but the facial Arima mask is just like a front face cover (It's hard to explain but it's like beauty masks which women usually use, you can put it on your face easily).

About the changing masks, it's not like Hirako sees him changing the mask directly. Hirako was seen running up the stairs to where Uta is, which should take around 10-15 seconds - enough time for Uta to take off his wooden mask and put on his Arima mask. It's not really hard to figure.

If Ishida wants to show that Uta can shiftshape with his Rc cells, he could have drawns tendrils or cells forming effects, but he uses a blackened face instead - which Uta was hiding with his hands.
