Default Innovative Mounts Problem

I have a 1993 Civic 2dr that I built an H22 for, it has never been wrecked. I had some ebay engine mounts in my car. Had some vibration at idle I wanted to get rid of. Did my research and loved the design of the Innovative Mounts. Purchased them and my Idle vibrations are like completely gone. Love the mounts. My problem is that the engine got moved about 1/2" forward in the engine bay. My alternator is rubbing the back of my headlight when I accelerate hard and when accelerating around 3K get a vibration due to axle binding. The axles are at a hard angle since the motor came forward and when accelerating hard the motor torques. When motor Torques the diff moves forward making the already bad angle into an even harder angle and gives me this vibration. This vibration wasn't there with previous mounts. I am wondering if anyone has installed these mounts and has the same problem? I have talked to Tim at Innovative Mounts and he wanted pictures so I sent him pics even pics with measurements. He said the diff housing sits about 1/2" from the cradle with the kit. Mine is sitting at 1". I have sent the pics a few different times and tried calling multiple times to see if he got them and what I can to to get this fixed. To me my motor needs to go backwards 1/2". I am about to redesign the mounts and fix the problem. I am wondering if anyone has had this vibration problem with their kit?

I am running a h22 transmission. I didn't have this vibration before with my old mounts. my old mounts had my axles almost perfectly inline with my knuckles. now they are moved forward. I know i get some vibration because it is a H22 civic. but this vibration started with new mounts and is fine if you are crusing around town. if you drive the car sporty (give it hard gas) about 3k rpm it starts vibrating real bad like bad inner axle joints. I have felt this vibration in customers cars when the inner joints go bad. I only get the vibration when moderately playing with the car. I am a service consultant for Acura dealership.
