Default ka rst engine mount

hi, ive got a fiesta rs turbo engine fitted in my ka sport at the moment, only problem i have is that the engine sits abit too high on the drivers side? i have the mounting bracket bolted into the chassis fine and the fiesta engine mount bolted to it but i have heard there is about 3 different types of mounts fitted to the cvh? are there taller mounts for the fiesta or are they all the same? how can i drop the height of the engine properly without bodging? any help would be greatly apreciated!

i will try and get some pics up tomorrow, cars at my g/f's house at the mo, the other reason i think its too high is that on the t2 turbo where the top boost hose fits the compressor housing, the housing sits so close to the slam panel that i cant get a boost hose on the turbo, its just squashed up againt the slam panel, surely that cant be rite?
