So as an update, I had to take the mount down again to get the arm in. Turns out atleast on the 07-09 cars there is not enough clearance to get the bolt in with the mount in place.
That being said, the bolt thank god did not strip and I was able to tq down properly. I guess it was just tough because the holes didn’t line up and needed that tq for a few days to spread the mount back out.
Had to bring the arm in all the way to get it to connect to the diff though and not the 9.5” starting point suggested by BMR.
Not sure if it’s just the angle of things right now, but just need to get pinion angle set and testing. The old arm was much longer so it should adjust fine.
