mazda competition motor mounts problems

So I just installed a new motor mount since the old one was shot, after installing, my engine raised up a couple inches now i can't install my strut bar since its hitting the power steering lines from reservoir. When I checked the mounts they sit just fine

So how can you do that? I don't see anywhere on where can you move it up and down. The only thing Ive noticed when I removed the passenger side engine mount was their a slotted hole on the subframe unlike in the driver side its just a standard hole.

Make sure you have the mounts oriented the correct way. Im sure you noticed the bumps ontop of each motor mount that need to line up with the engine brackets themslves. They need to be (I cant remember off the top of my head) aligned with the bump positioned either up or down. If you can get me a picture I can explain better.

So this is the driver side. Should i position the bumps facing the engine side or shock tower side?
