i had the very same problem happen to my CRX, the transmission mount plate ripped in half, you won't find it at a parts store, go to a wrecker and ask for the transmission mount with the plate attached (they come that way anyway from the junk yard). you can then replace the mount with a new one, reusing the plate.
is your clutch aftermarket? do you have stiff aftermarket mounts? does your clutch chatter?

I think what the pictures show to be broken isn't the mount, but the bracket that the mount bolts down to.

ok so i found a honda wrecking yard and got the part for 15 bucks just gotta wait till monday to pick it up. I also noticed this, idk if this is screwed up from the bracket snapping or if the last owner just didn't mount it

That is your front transmission mount being not bolted at all.
From the link in my previous post, you are missing a bolt, washer, and a special nut.

Without that mount, the added stresses translate to the other mounts.
No doubt that it helped your bracket break.

A lot of people skip out on the front mount.
The bolt is typically a pain to get to.
I've always had to remove the exhaust manifold to get a clear shot at it.

It looks like the bracket is bent pretty badly.
Maybe from the engine and transmission torquing around or maybe from the previous owner banging it out of the way with a hammer.
I would try bending it back into place so you can put a bolt through it.
Or get a new cross-member - the bracket is welded to the cross-member.
