Default Deformed diff mount or bracket? PICS ( i think its the bracket not the mount) HELP

I installed Diff collars today, I forgot to take a pic of rear front Mount
My rear Front Brackets threads were pointing left.. it was impossible to align the holes of the rear front Mount without taking off the Brackets on the front of the diff..
so i took it out and i was able install the Rear front Mount, but then.. Brackets r not aligned (pics shown below), of course i knew it wont be aligned.

i used my whole strength to push the bracket to align and bolt in, but i was able to get 2 bolts on on each side.... one is half way and got stuck i can loosen it but i left it there, and for the other one i got really !$*(!@ tired and it is not aligned, so i gave up.


^Right side of the Bracket

^Left side of the Bracket

VID clip:: 41 sec. http://youtu.be/IhnYmgUTscA

I drove around n it was good happy n &&%@ tired.
I felt NO Vibration at all WOT in 1st n 2nd + rear mirror .., hella stable, diff responses quick in turn, slightly fast throttle response, u will definitely feel it, i promise that .

im still afraid that my front diff brackets will fail with just 2 and a half bolts on lol..

i doubt the Mounts are bad, i assume the whole Brackets are bad.. what do you think?
so im thinking of buying rear front brackets R/L. but they r damn pricy for a new one 50$ each? i dont wanna get a used one cuz i dont wanna face another deformed bracket.

Any Suggestions? TY

Loosen everything, get that bolt in correctly, then tighten everything up.

You don't need new brackets. It will all align once things are loose.

I did the diff collars, had to loosen same bracket as you. It will go back once everything is loose.
