Pick it up a little bit, to take the weight off the mounts, then shuffle it around as needed to get them to line up.

Should be able to lift it enough to pull it forward a bit. May have to pry on the trans from underneath, just be VERY careful what you are prying on.

The rear trans mount should have a little give..... The other option would be to unbolt the rear trans mount, get the engine mounts in place, and the trans mount should be right close to where it needs to be.
