It sounds like the motor shifted over when you lowered it. What kind of jack is it sitting on? Can you just push it over till it lines up?

I did my front mount today, too. I used a scissor jack to lower the engine. It was about a 1/4 inch out when I raised it and pushing on it till it moved solved the problem.

You didn't put the crib bolts in first did you? Attach the mount to the engine, and then the crib to the body. Then when you push it over you can seee the holes line up.

If you haven't looked at Pedro's tutorial, then you really should.
