any chance its been put on wrong before, and its only pure luck that ive got the ball joints on in the past? im proper confused by it its give me a headache literally

its had mounts off to put new rubbers on and then off at the mounts to take engine box/out so its not that..... it looks as if the gearbox need to go to the left a bit more so theres more clearance but i cant see how i can get it move without unbolting everything, and obv i shouldnt have to do that
