I have used mine too with no problems. Having said that if you tightened the screws on the engine before trying to attach it to the engine mount, then this is likely your problem.
Attach the engine mount arms to the engine, but do not tighten the screws fully. Then place the engine onto the engine mount tightening down the screws between the engine mount and the arms. Once those are tight, you can tighen the screws between the engine and the arms.
If you now remove the engine (and the arms) from the engine mount you will find it goes in much easier.
Once the gear meshing is done, sometimes the fit is a little tight, but nothing where you need to force anything.
