Try scanning as color neg film. There should be a setting for color neg,
as opposed to positive/reversal/slide. The scanning software is designed
to compensate for the orange mask in that mode.
I don't know what scanning software you are using. Orange masks are not
all the same, but any software should get you close with the correct
film type setting. With VueScan, you can scan a piece of blank frame to
set the mask compensation individually for the film you are scanning.
Better yet is to create a color profile for the film.

You shouldn't have to do any of this stuff.
