Default Motor mount issue

So I bought these motor mounts a few years back from a member and am getting around to putting them in. I'm noticing now that I'm going to have a problem with the passenger side. I attached pics and I'm hoping I'm overlooking something

My issue is that the bracket from the block to the k member will not go over the mount

A member had a similar issue and they had reversed the mounts by accident.

Are you sure you didn't mix them up?

I bought them this way. That's a good point though, I'll try that

So I just went to the car and looked at them, you can clearly see the drivers side mount is way smaller and fits in that location perfect. It looks like the bigger one is supposed to go on the passenger side mount and it fits in the original bracket fine. I just can't get the part that connects to the block to slide over that mount.

update....I'M A F*CKIN RETARD!! So the passenger side and drivers side brackets look very similar, I was using the drivers side one which is replaced with the built in bracket on the UMI k-member instead of the pass. side which side by side there is a big difference but they were both powder coated so it was hard to tell.

EVERYTHING IS ALL GOOD! Disaster averted.
