I purchased this:
Torque Solution Urethane Insert Transmission Mount
Applications: Porsche 996TT/GT2/GT3/C2 & GT3 Cup 997TT/GT2/GT3 & RS/C2/C4 and GT3 Cup
**Fits Manual & Automatic Tiptronic Transmission. Will not fit the PDK transmission.
It clearly states 996 C2 Manual Transmission. 1998-2011
The bracket is the transmission mount itself. The insert is the plastic part. I just changed mine on the GT3 a couple weeks ago. It sits right in front of the transmission box in the center of the car.

I think that's the later type transmission mount , you might have the earlier type which was two pressed steel brackets , one is a plate with four bolt which bolts to the body and the other is like a cross brace that fits into it and bolts to the rubber mount on the end of the box.
The support you show is for the GT3 which is a different transmission. I don't know if it used in any other models but definitely not in a Mk1 or Mk2 C2 or C4.
If you have a C2/C4 996 you can use the Function First inserts to firm up a sagging transmission mount or even to make it firmer than standard. The other option is to punch/cut/mangle the old mount out of the transmission and press in a new mount.
Mk1 six speed manual. The big hole at the lower left is where the mount gets pressed in.

If you can't return that 996tt trans mount, let me know. I am replacing my engine mounts this week and may need a trans mount if my current one is shot.

Let me know if you need it.
You can have it for $350.00 and I will cover PP fees and pay for Priority Mail shipping to you.
There is mis-information abound regarding the transmission mount styles used on the different models. Here is a breakdown for the 2 styles of transmission bushings:
The singular transmission mount bushing that's pressed into the trans bell housing is used on:
996.1 Carrera (manual)
996.1 Carrera (tiptronic)
996.2 Carrera (manual)
The transmission mount carrier that uses 2 bushings and can be entirely removed from the car is used on:
996.2 Carrera (tiptronic)
996 Turbo
996 GT2
996 GT3
