Rotate plane by normal, how to calculate new position?

I hava a plane, which I know the normal(normal0), and 2 points(pointA, pointB).

Now I have another normal:normal1.

I need to rotate plane from normal0 to normal1 around pointA, How can I know the new position pointB after rotation?

The func would be like:

Vector3 changeNormal(Vector3 normal0, Vector3 normal2, Vector3 pointA, Vector3 pointB)
{
…

return newPointB

}

This function should just do the trick:

 Vector3 changeNormal(Vector3 normal0, Vector3 normal2, Vector3 pointA, Vector3 pointB) {
    Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(normal0, normal2); //Get rotation between both normals
    Vector3 rotationDir = pointB - pointA; // Get point direction relative to pivot
    rotationDir = rotation * rotationDir; // Rotate it
    pointB = rotationDir + pointA; // Calculate rotated point
    return pointB;
}
