yeah i was wondering if this amount of angle is normal.

*note- the right side of the mount arm is much lower then the left.

Normal. The engine also doesn't sit perfectly straight in the engine bay.

To make space for all the emissions components, and in general, to fit the engine in the car. That's what I'm speculating.
