SystemD does have a directive for UMask in their "unit" scripts under the '[service]' section
See: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#UMask=
[ https :// www. freedesktop. org /software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#UMask= ]
and also:
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/systemd.exec.5.html
[ https :// man7. org /linux/man-pages/man5/systemd.exec.5.html ]
Several posts on StackExchange indicate that the name of the directive 'UMask' is case-sensitive, so it must match the first two letters as UPPERcase, the remainder lowercase.
This posting at ServerFault provides the exact steps:

Depending on how Apache httpd is called (for example, if there is a wrapper script called instead of an executable), there may be other players in the mix that would influence what the process ends up with for its umask.
Start first with how Apache httpd is called by SystemD, and trace it out to the binary (see if your script(s) call any other scripts). Worst case, you could go the opposite route and have the unit script call a bash script instead of the executable directly, and the bash script can set umask right before it calls the httpd binary.
