Default hard shuttering

Ok so I just replaced my motor mounts with the massive hard mounts and I also replace the powersteering pully and belt but now for some reason the car is "shuttering" really bad at idle but goes away after I hit the gas? I was looking and one of my radiator fans will not kick on but the other one is running? Aren't they supposed to run at the same time? Can someone please help me I'm also not shoot any trouble codes

What do you mean shuttering at idle? Bad vibrations?

Yea really bad vibrations I mean I expected to feel a little with the hard mounts just not the amount that I'm feeling it feels like the car is going to fall apart

Yea I assume their mounted correctly lol the hole lined up lol and I torqued them to 70lbs which is what they called for....but the bolt for the bottom mount when I was putting it on fit through the bolt channel on the mount but not the the threads on the bracket on the motor it was to big.....so I used the oem bolt and it was a tad smaller maybe a size or 2 but went through the mounting bracket whould that be part of the hard vibrations? Keep in mind the vibrations go away once the car gets close to 1000 rpms maybe 900 and stay away till the rpms drop below that mark

There is a special alignment procedure for one of the mounts, pretty sure Darth has all the details.

As far as I know the trans mounts are usually the ones that last the longest on these vehicles.
