LT1/T56 not sitting straight

Has anyone else had this issue? Running a BMR trans crossmember and the trans is sitting at least 2" too low and it's twisted. The engine looks straight but it can't be. Got a new motor mount for the drivers side to see if that helps. Is there supposed to be a special trans mount for this swap?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Trying to set pinion angle but found more not right than planned.

The deep LS (CTS-V) bellhousing has a twist.
The big output (SSR) extension housing has a twist.

The bell housing is from a 95 z28.

Thank you! Mine is twisted the opposite way but maybe the early 4th gen went that way. Will a 4th gen trans mount adapt it better to the crossmember or is there something special for the BMR cross member?
