Mask with or (||) does not work.

🐞 bug report

Is this a regression?

I'm not sure, but i think in version 14 will it work like a charm

Description

I have a masking for initials. The initials should be separated by a dot and can contain one to 5 letters. The problem comes with an update of ng-mask. in a earlier version i didnt have problems with this mask. now the "or" (||) masks will not be evaluated. actually i use "ngx-mask": "~15.2.3" with Angular 15.

With Version "ngx-mask": "~15.0.2" the Mask will work perfectly, but if i backspace, i have to set the cursor before the Character. In Version 15.2.3 the mask does not fit, but the backspace works without problems. and i version 14 both works without problems.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

    <input
      mask="S.||S.S.||S.S.S.||S.S.S.S.||S.S.S.S.S."
      type="text"
      [dropSpecialCharacters]="false"
      [validation]="false">

Version 14 will work

🔥 Exception or Error

I does not get an Exception or Error. It's not possible to put more than one character. If i change the past to:
"S.S.S.S.S." the last dot appears only if i put five characters into the field.
