1Olddude,

First of all, I have Not replaced the transmission mounts on my CS yet...

However, I had replace many tranny and engine mounts on other cars, and sometimes what had worked for me is to remove again the mount that you say it was the easiest one to install and first tackle the most difficult one, because it will allow you to 'jiggle' the transmission just enough to align the all holes for the bolts, once you managed to start the bolts on the difficult side (leaving the bolts loose) you will move tho the other side and once you have all the bolts installed THEN you can tighten them down.

Definitely, if something gets on the way (like the exhaust), remove it to have more room to work, it is time well invested as others are suggesting.

You will fix it properly just take a deep breath and be patient.

Good luck!
