Motor mount ?????

I am doing my motor mounts right now and I got stock replacements. The drivers side, the rubber mount appears to be centered inside the shell, but the passanger side the rubber mount seems to be off to one side of the shell. The replacements I have are both centered inside the shell. Can someone point me in the right direction on how these mounts should be? Any pictures of the mounts side by side?

When you say the same, do you mean each side looks the same? Or the new mounts look the same as the old ones. My old mounts dont look the same, is it possible one could of moved?

Could someone explain this to me in better detail, I really dont want to screw this up. The two new mounts are the same, and my stock mounts are different.

OK, good info but not what I'm looking for. The mounts where the three bolts go into the K-member. I got new mounts from the parts store, they are the same, my stock rubber peices appear to be different, the drivers side rubber is centered in the mount, and the passanger side is all the way to one side. I need to know what is what here.

You should still have the engine out of the car right? Just test fit the mounts on either side it. Either mount on the engine should fit inside both ears of the mount for the frame.
