Default Motor is leaning towards passenger side more why ? HELP

We changed the clutch on my car when we lowered the tranny we lowered the craddle but we didn't take bolts completely off but the motor is leaning more towards the passenger side as if its not sitting right and I cant manage to get it straight , idk if my mechanic messed up the frame since thats what the motor sits on and also on the motor mounts but the motor mounts were never tooken off so those weren't able to get messed up so im guessing the frame itself got messed up and also alignment ?

No. I doubt it. No way can the frame be mess up. U probably loosen the passenger side too much or maybe the passenger side motor mount is crack or something. Compare both the mounts. As for alignment, everytime u do a clutch change, it will definitely mess up ur alignment. Tat is y I plan on getting the spoon chassic collar kit.

The motor leans noticeably to the passenger side. As long as all the subframe bolts are installed and your motor mounts are in good condition, there should be no issue. Pictures of your engine bay would be helpful to determine if it's leaning more than normal.
