Tranny Alignment

So trying to make sure I have the best possible alignment as I install the Power Plant Frame. As you can see in the picture the tranny is quite a bit to the right. I had to push the PPF quite a bit toward the driver side just to get it up and onto the tranny bolts. Loosened up the motor mounts to do that too.

Is it normal to have to push to get the PPF lined up to the tranny? Other than loosening the motor mounts and PPF bolts where else can I get any adjustment? Bushings are new on motor and diff.

Aftermarket bushings in differential and full function motor mounts.

no you shouldn't need to push the PPF over, stock mounts do not have that issue. your aftermarket mounts are obviously not installed perpendicularly.
