-Maybe there is a bit of wiggle room to kick the engine to the left a bit on its mounts? Loosen mounts and somehow shift engine. Would need to look if the mounts give any degrees of freedom for this.
-Put a pad of some kind on the frame?
Any more suggestions or advice?

How old are your engine mounts? If they are the OEM ones then it might be time to replace them.
I don't know how you would move the engine on the mounts though. It doesn't seem like there is that kind of flexibility in there.
