I'm confused w/engine mounts!

Well, I just came back with the drilled brackets from the shop, they fit perfect,' cause they are custom  :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big:
Before I modify them, i over looked and analyzed the problem, we all know it's a weird situation if those are the same mounts, and not even the new one I bought worked, and I observed that if i change the left mount with the right one, they dropped into the right position, but obviously one has 3 holes and the other has 4, so that's when i decided to adapt it. I also saw one of the brackets have been previously fixed, perhaps there's the problem.
Here are some photos:

That should fix the problem  :D
The worst that could happen is an engine problem and:

Well then, hopefully everything is in there straight and you're good to go.

So how is this going to affect the driveshaft? Is it now going to lose 1 1/2" of motion one way or the other?

This may cause you driveshaft issues next.

Was not trying to scare ya. Just one thing may affect something else and that is the next part of the chain.
