Actually, a picture would go a long way to helping here. Looking at the picture that came out of the manual it's easy to see that the engine mount is offset to the left side of the engine compartment. So it's hard to imagine how yours can be much more offset from center.

That's what I mean, I can't see how there's a difference with the pic in the manual offset so far from center. Maybe my engine mount is lower or something.

If you remove the rubber boots from the engine itself, you should be able to sit the 'feet' on the grippy part of the engine mount, and strap it down with supplied metal straps and bolts. If you try this with my plane, it's even worse of a fit; the whole length of the muffler hits the side of the plane.
