Try this. The cross member is not bent as it would mean your front frame rails are also bent. Forget about that being the issue. Lift the engine a bit. Attach the motor mounts to the brackets attached to the engine first as they are not slotted for adjustment. Then gently lower the everything to where the studs of the mounts just start into the slotted holes in the crossmember. You can probably get one side started just bit and wiggle the engine enough to get the other side to slip in. Once you get them both started in the holes, lower it home..
I remember changing the passenger side motor mount on my 944NA a good 20 years ago and never had any issues getting it back in. That was with the engine in the car too.
Removing the air box will let you see better on the drivers side though so that might be a good idea.
