Default Lowering engine - support from right side?

For some reason even though I have a proper support from the middle jacking point when lowering the engine that right side goes down when opening the engine mount from the right side. Left side works properly.
Any idea why this happens and what is the proper jacking point for another jack to support the engine from the right side?
There are a couple of points that could be used just about 30-40cm (1 foot) the the right but would like to be sure.

One jack is all you need. Just find the sweet spot

2x4 across the rear row of bolts for the sump plate. Jack in the middle of the 2x4. Lifts nice and even.
