Default Engine shakes too much

I have a 95 DX Sedan with D16Z6 motor.

Engine runs great while on the road but when stopped at a red light, parked with the engine on or hit any kinda bumps on the road, it shakes like crazy making all this rattling noise. I tried to go in the engine bay and look for myself to see if anything was loose but everything looked to be bolted down correctly so what I wanna know is if there is anything like an engine brace or something to keep the engine from moving so much I can buy.

I know its not normal cuz when I am in any of my other friends 5th or 6th gens, their engines dont do it.

Whats your idle at? It may be too low, which would explain the shaking.

engine mounts are considered as wear and tear parts.
