Need help with Engine mount aligment issue

You have to play around with the mount, it is probably touching something that is not letting it go into the slot properly. Do you have the engine raised enough to allow you to move the mount freely around? This shouldn't be an issue if there isn't anything in the way.

The mount really only goes in one possibly way. I can't specifically remember, but I do know the slot is to allow you to remove/install it from under the engine when you slightly raise it to remove the mount. If you are still having problems, I can recheck my mounts to see how it is supposed to sit.
