check out this post

having the wrong front mount bracket will cause what you have pictured in your post - did you check to see if the number "344" was stamped on it? this is the bracket that mounts to the block below the turbo.. motor mounts are the same for DSM's but that bracket is different. If the car had a motor swap from a dsm in the past there is a good chance its got the wrong bracket. They look very simular and people dont realize they are different. The wrong bracket will cause the motor to be higher in the front and the diff to be lower in the back...

Your mounts are mis-matched, you should be able to spot that the engine is not cantered as far forward as it should be. Make sure all four mounts are Galant VR-4 specific and you should be fine.

are they all different or just the front ones different
 

if i recall right. the mounts are similar. but the front bracket is different in teh vr4. this allows the position of the motor wto change allowing it to sit more snugly into the engine bay then the t/e/l
