Header install problems (Hooker 2151 on LT1)

I'm installing Hooker 2151 on my 1995 corvette.

First major problem.
The passenger side header is resting on the motor mount, enough so that the header is up too high so most of the header bolts will not go in. Does the motor mount need to be cut a little, or does the header need to be dented a little?

I will likely have more problems, as I haven't even started to put the driver's side in, so more to come. Thanks for the help with my initial speedbump.

Is it hitting the actual motor mount?, or just the motor mount's bolt?

With Exotic Muscle you remove the mounting bolt and put it in the other way around on the drivers side.

try jacking the motor up from under the pan - you might have a shot mount - if the header fit with the motor jacked lower it slow and see what is going on.
