AD front mount not fitting

[dallsbeep]

Help needed with AD mounts...

2011 Taurus sho.

I put rear on just fine. Front is giving me problems. I can only get one bolt or the other in on the front. Both don't want to thread at the same time. I have tried prying but no luck. Do you guys have any tips or tricks for this front mount and getting them both in?

Front is on ramps, e brake on, in neutral and wheels chocked.

Is there a specific spot to get the leverage that's better? What size pry bar? Should I make a blood sacrifice ?

I watch the install video and of course everything just glides right in. Of course it would give me trouble
