why is my motor sitting highter with new motor mounts

I installed new motor mounts from Energy Susoension and now my motor sits almost 1/2" higher then normal. i cant even put my strut tower brace back on. I figured it was because the mounts are much stronger and better then the stock ones but this is my 2nd 91z28 and i had the same brace on my last one and didnt need 1/2" spacers under the brackets for the strut tower brace on my last one. also, i looked under my car this weekend and noticed the upper tab on the passenger mount in the front of the mount is not even touching the outer case that goes around the mount. it dont look seated. the drivers side is fine but now i am starting to think i put them in backards.does anyone have a picture of what is should like. i put them in when the motor was out and now it looks like a nightmare to remove them. anyone have any idea on how they should look in there
