Did you flip the mount over to see if you just had the mount upside down? The mounting holes for the trans and the crossmember have different spacing.
You may just have the wrong mount as well.

The studs on the mount go into the cross member, and the bolt holes should line up with the transmission. One side of the mount should say "front", and should of course face front. If it is not legible try spinning the mount around.
Here's a picture I found.
Sorry it was a 2wd pic. I'll look for a 4x4 version.

Trans crossmember
It's like the crossmember is to far back needs to move up but I can't move it up cause the front drive shaft will hit it I need a spacer or something to drop the crossmember itself so I can move forward

Are you converting the truck from stick to auto(or the other way)? They have different crossmembers.

There should be a couple of set of holes for the trans mount to go.
You can also spin the crossmember around to use other holes

ok so i got a trans mount for my 90 f150 and i went out and really looked at it i see where everyone says to flip the cross member and it looks like it will line the holes up my question now is how far can i jack up the trans mission because the transmission it sitting on the cross member now and the mount is pretty thick and how much of the driveshaft should be showing coming out the tcase going to rear i got about 3in maybe 4 showing now and got about another 2in to jack up b4 the mount will even fit
