I just changed my motor mounts on my car and it looks like the driver side of the engine it tilted. I have a hatchback with a convertible motor and bought the convertible motor mounts for the car. Is there a reason it is leaning this way and should I place shims under the driver side engine mount to level it up?

Its the stock k member. It might just be me haha. Does the stock intake tilt downward a little bit on the drivers side?

So I took the Napa motor mounts off and compared them to my stock ones and noticed that the passenger side mount was really messed up looking (new one). I do not like to throw anything together just to get it going so I went ahead and bought some Energy Suspension mounts and got them today. I am having a problem with the alignment tabs not lining up what so ever with my stock k member. Is this common and what do I need to do to fix this?
