Motor Mount Advice--Has this one failed? 200 1987

On the passenger side engine mount (ScanTech--9 months old): 1) there's only 1/8-inch clearance to a new OEM Volvo oil filter, and 2) surface of mount is bulging and 3) the mounting bolts are now offset by perhaps 3/4-inch (engine side lower than support bracket side). Does this look normal, or is it failing?

The gap between the cross-member and oil pan appears to be even--about 3/8 to 1/2 inch all across

If it is failing, any concerns with installing a diesel engine mount ONLY on the passenger side?
