Not sure are you using a T-5 rear trans mount or the A4ld one? Not sure if that makes a differance. May want to call parts house and use you car year and check part number of each and see if differant. I know from a couple other posting it is close.
Something else. Notice using a double hump crossmember. For a v-8 May have ask for the t-5 mount for a 5.0 Mustang. Maybe the 5.0 sits differant. Just a idea
Added rear view of a 90 2.3 t-5 mustang I use to have. This is view from front of car toward rear. Sorry only picture I have of the mount area. Car is gone and now crushed. [Van hit it parked at guy I sold it to]

The mount thats in it I got from advance and i asked for 1993 trans mount for manual car, I did have one I got from ford dealer and just told them t5 mount and it was a inch taller than the one in there now, I will go to the parts house tomorrow and see if i can compare some more

I don't know. If notice picture mine was a 5.0 crossmember. Ps just notice.
Maybe this will help. His car is 2.3 turbo but would be same as 2.3na as far as trans swalp.

I just did the swap on my 94 2.3 .The donor car's crossmenber wad rotted out , so I used my A4LD mount.Just drilled acouple of holes for the mount and cut a little from the bottom to get access to one of the nuts. Used spacers on the frame brackets , as the crossmember is narrower.Works great and is the right hight.
