Default Rs motor mount install - alignment

I am adding the rs motor mounts on my 2093 996

It is a very easy mod and many have documented it

But i would like to confirm with those who have done it

If they saw the top of the motor mount washer a little slanted toward the front of the car or if it is parallel to the ground with equal clearance all around it

In my case the top washer is really not flat and tilt toward the front

I have read that there is se alignment to be done to make sure the main screw is inserted in the middle if the engine support brace, which I did but still it look a bit crooked to me

Anyone ?

I have a pic but can't figure how to upload via iPhone

ok so I mounted the second RS motor mount and it is jus as slanted toward the front as the passenger one.

I tried to adjust it all the way I could, so I assume that is the way it sits, but that is very strange.

I don't see how it could be right to have it constantly under pressure.

I'll try to make more research on this.

I wish I could see the official porsche steps to mount these.
