Default B20 engine mount issue

So i was wondering if anybody can help me out. I havent been able to find a solution. I have a b20b in my 96 ek couple. For some reason the driver side 2 post mount has a 1/2 gap between engine mount and motor mount on body. I put the nuts on and tightened down on it anyway and it actually pulled the motor up so much it snapped the lower ac bracket torque mount stud. Im using the 1320 performance mounts, crv a/c bracket, blackpath lower torque mounts, the 2 post mount on engine is from 99 si confirmed cause i bought another one just in case and it was identical i even put it on anyway. It seems like the 2 post mount on engine needs to come up a 1/2 inch to make everything happy but for mean time i put spacers. I called 1320 performance to question them and they said they have sold hundreds of these mounts and havent had an issue. Has anybody seen this issue? Thanks in advance

This is without center bolt but you see how if mount sits flat on 2 post mount center bolt is so low

Make sure that the other mounts are loose so you can tweak the driver's side mount.

I did loosen all mounts and tried. The brand is 1320 performance. If i tighten top mount the way its suppose to, the lower stud on ac bracket is almost touching frame. There would be no way to have torque mount on it. Thats why stud snapped the first time i tried it and had to go buy a whole new ac bracket

my only conclusion is that the civic is originally an automatic and you don't have the proper transmission mount. w/o the proper transmission mount the engine and transmission sits at an angle making the driver side higher than the passenger side. Very noticable. can't deny it.
