Default Motor mounts........again

I replaced the old style motor mount brackets with the new brackets that lower the engine about an inch. I am using the specified motor mount on both sides. I had a devil of a time getting the bolts into the frame mounts on the left side - I bolted the right side down first. When I did finally wrestle the motor to a position to get the bolts in, the trans tailshaft was not centered.

With the right side bolted down and the tailshaft centered, the bolt holes miss the frame holes by about 5/16" to the rear and 1/4" to the left. When I originally installed these MM brackets the motor was too far back. A call to Pete at CR said they were marked wrong, the left bkt was marked "R", etc. I switched them and this is where I'm at now.

So, has anyone else had this problem? Is this the way it's supposed to be, or do I have bad parts?:confused
