WTF - eBay engine mount bolt hole too small?

So I went to install my new ebay engine mounts, and the front and rear wont bolt in. I have checked the alignment of the mount and the engine bracket, and its off by a little bit, but no matter what I cant get the bolt to go in, even with a deadblow hammer hitting a socket attached to the bolt-head. has anyone else experienced this?? it really should surprise me, as I had to grind away part of the hole on he crossmember in order to get the rear mount to even fit on it. i really didnt think to try the bolt in the hole before i mounted it up there. what should i do?

Leave mount to crossmember bolts loose and the crossmember to body bolts out. Then line up the mount bolt on both front and rear, then do the other bolts.
