Default DS and PS motor mounts the same???

I bought some motor mount clam shells with Prothane inserts already installed and am trying to bolt them up and finding a problem.

If you look in the first picture the ones I bought both have tabs on the middle. Neither will fit on the Passenger side flush.

The second pick are stock you can see how the one does not have the tab on it.

Just trying to figure out what I have and how I'm going to use it....

Both of my clam shells have the tab on them. The tab faces the rear on the drivers side and the front on the pass side. Just make sure that the 2 tabs of metal in the poly mount are facing up to the heads.

This. When I did my motor swap I had 1 side with the tab facing down and let me tell you how fun that was to fix lol.

Thanks for the help guys. The bolts are on backwards and after looking closely you can see where the prior owner grinded down the tabs hope those aren't important. Turned the bolts around, bought a couple of 7/16 bolts for one because I think they used a 1/2 drill bit or larger to get the fused part drilled out. But they are on.

Thanks again!
