Unhappy motor mounts

I removed a chevy 350 1980 4wd pickup motor. I replaced that 350 with a 350 from a 1979 rwd rv. I swapped the motor mounts from pulled 350 to rv motor rightside does not come down far enough to replace center pin. What did I do wrong???

Might just be hung up on the bushing. Have you tried a bar between the top, and bottom of the mount, wiggle it see if it falls into place. Make sure you keep a jack under it, but not tight against it.
