I have been trying to get my motor in the car for some time. Its in but not straight, I had the wrong brackets on it for a while. Now I bought brackets from MoparGod and still the same thing. Here some pics

Looks to me like you should attach the mounts to the K-frame first, then lower the block onto the mounts. But I have done more Chevy work than Mopar, so take my advice with a big grain of salt.

Tried that, moved the driver to in front of the ears to try to help line it up. My tranny is not being held up, could that be my problem? It appears that the pass side is not far enough back, when i push the motor back to line up the mount with the hole the motor is not straight.

Yes, bring up the tranny. You want to keep the motor & trans pretty level. One thing you can try too, is to bolt the tranny & crossmember first to guide. Don't raise the engine any higher than needed or the trans mount may get damaged.
