Wow that sucks. I have these mounts also that I was going to be using with the stock power steering rack. I had eye balled everything, and I thouht it would fit. But by the looks of your picture there isnt anyway. He is usually in the Drag Racing forum. You might want to try and post this there.

do your tires EVER leave the race track? If so... get poly mounts and be happy.
Otherwise you need to try a LS1 steering rack (moves the base outward), or go to an aftermarket rack (like a flaming river), or maybe relocate the stock rack and install bump-steer corrections.... all in order of difficulty of course.

And that makes no sence, because these are only designed for the stock k member. The additional pad that is welded on the drivers side mount will only work if your using the stock k member. I have a PA k-member that I had to modify to even get these solid mounts to mount up.
But anyways I went out and bolted everything together and took some pics. I was able to get everything to bolt up an the shaft did not hit. I also turned the wheel lock to lock and nothing hit. Sorry about the big pics.
Here is a front view

Picture of a modified PA k-member so that I could use all the bolts designed into the motor mount.

ok, so anyone know what's going on with the first pic? Can you take a front shot and a shot further back?
Is it bolted to the right spot? (ya never know...)
It's clear the problem mount isn't oriented the same and foggedz's mounts.

It seem to me that the jig used to make these mounts must only have the mounting points for the motor, and the K-member built in. The gusset is probably added afterwards, and done a little different on each set.
As far as the comment about solid mounts being a bad idea for a street car. I have had some form of solid mounts on my car for 2 years, and pefer them over any other type of mount.
