  make another layer and uncheck scrollable. place all the actors (the grey background and buttons) in this layer and they should stay on the same place

  Not sure if the x and y coordinates change when the camera flips so you might have to interpolate them in reverse direction in sync with the camera. I would do a display text and see if their position y changes during the flip.

  Try using -self.rotation we have made several of these types of templates and there's several ways to do it.
  
  The controls will stay in the same place even though the camera is rotating so for eg if you have a HUD actor at x 100 y 100 the actor will appear to rotate around BUT the actor will still be at x 100 y 100.
  
  Here's some examples with video.

  Why don't you do a background with the controls already in (like the 1st link i shown you) and unlock the background and do constrain self.rotation to -scene.camera.rotation.

  No, you first put a - and then scene.camera.rotation.
  So -scene.camera.rotation
