When I turn on power attack it shows -3 to all my attacks. But it doesn’t show an increase to my damage. I am using a +4 mace if that means anything.

Mace is a small-finessable weapon. PA does not apply

If a weapon falls under the 'Weapon Finesse' category, such as a mace, it will not get increased damage from power attack. Northlander Hewing works though.
The exception is the small races, halflings and gnomes, to them the 'light weapons' are actual considered as 'medium sized weapons' and thus they can combine Weapon Finesse and Power Attack. They even get the 1.5 multiplier to damage. It is bit buggy, but what isn't in this game.
