Default help aligning manual transmission mount during install

Hi All,
I am struggling to get the transmission mount aligned with the body mounts. I can catch one of the rubber mount bolts but am having trouble aligning the other one to have both bolts installed.
any tips or tricks to doing this? These are the two holes I need to align.

Make sure if the trans mount was replaced, the alignment of the bushing is aligned to the housing correctly, if not a new bushing, loosen the rear motor mounts enough to be free and try to line up trans mount.
