Post My B18a1 swap seems a little "unparallel" or tilted to a side.

I have a 1989 crx si with an ls swap i bought last year. so far i've added goodies on it to have it boosting by summer. 15psi on a t3t4 with the motor having 1xx,000 miles on it. But the thing that bothers me is that is it normal to have the swap look like its not so parallel to the engine bay's firewall or could it be the front bumper support not on right? I've always thought that it might need some frame adjusting/alignment but i was wonder if that is not the case. I will add pictures tomorrow morning or so but let me know. Also the front bumper seems to be uneven to the ground. My right front corner light has an inch gap and the left corner light fits just fine with no gaps whatsoever.

do you have good motor mounts? that can be an issue. are all of your mounts mounted down and bolted tightly? not just the two main mounts
