Cant get 4th motor mount bolt in.....Help!!!!

im talking about the 4 bolts on each side that bolt the motor mount onto the k member, not the motor mount to the engine block. there are 4 bolts on top that go to the engine block, one thru bolt with a nut, and 4 bolts on the bottom that bolt to the k member. all 4 went in fine on the passengers side, but i cant get the 4th one started on the drivers side. it looks like the hole is lines up, but it just doesnt wanna thread. any suggestions?? is three on one side enough??

Here's how I did it:
Take the weight off the mount. Loose all the bolts. Start them all. Tighten them by making a couple passes in a modified star pattern.

Glad my BMR k member got rid of those heavy things
