I’ve been trying to solve this problem and I’m stumped on it, I have a 1995 civic ej1 that’s a manual car from factory, it has a b20b with a Integra ls transmission, the mounts are eBay Hasport knock offs, my problem is the drivers side of the engine sits lower than the passenger side, I have confirmed that I do indeed have the manual transmission mount and that my post mount is correct any one have any input on what it can be, I was wondering if the person that did the swap didn’t use the right t bracket attaching to the sub frame is this a possible cause or would it not bolt up at all?
Your problem will NOT be the rear "T" bracket... it is almost certainly the Left side engine bracket... take a close up picture of this bracket just under the driver's side engine mount and post it here. We can confirm or dispute your assessment of the bracket being correct.
Hmm. Agree with JRCivic1. Make sure you have the CRV bracket and not one of the other brackets.
I had the the opportunity to document the difference in December when I pulled the B20Z2 for rebuild and replaced it with a JDM B20B. Knew it would come in handy sooner or later:
spAdam ... didn't we come to the conclusion that the USDM B20B/Z bracket was TALLER and thus would cause the issue that the OP is experiencing, whereas, the JDM B20B bracket and the USDM EM1 bracket would both work in an EG/EK swap application ?
When I swapped from a D16Y7 to a USDM B20Z2 however many years ago it was, I had to acquire no mount brackets.
The taller one in the pic came off of my jdm B20B that I dropped in recently. The shorter one came off of my B20Z2 that came out.
OP’s car is a 95, so some brackets and stuff are different - in fact they are the same as Integra so the mount situation is even more straightforward… but I would look to see if that engine has the tall mount bracket before I looked at anything else.

Your driver's side mount is an OEM one... the fact that you do not have a complete set of matching mounts may be the issue. Remember that every brand of mounts may place the power-train within the engine bay in a slightly different place... when you start mix-matching differing brand mounts, the combination will likely create the problem that perplexes you. I suggest you purchase a complete replacement set of mounts... and HASPORT would be a good choice.

Sounds good thanks so much for the input I was kinda thinking the same thing I’ll order some and see if it helps so I can finally slap on my b18c1 head haha
