Hi Kelvin,
I have no experience on a situation as yours but since options may be limited,
unless you switch to the Lord engine mounts (and I guess in the UK that may not
be easy) then I would try to install them an see how it feels in terms of how
much force will be needed to install them.

so it is possible that the holes will end up in the right place with only
the outside of the rubber pushing against the socket in the mount.
If the holes do end up moving slightly off center, make sure that they are all
not clocked exactly in the same position or the engine will be displaced
slightly.
Try to set each on a different position like 45-135-225-315 to that the engine
ends up centered.
Again, you may hear an opposing opinion but if I was out of options then this is
what I would try if the forces to line things up are not excessive. And I would
inspect the rubber mounts on a more regularly until you can get better ones.
And again, in the UK maybe you can't do something like this.
