Based upon the photos you show, you probably have everything that goes to the front motor mount except for the two bolts that go thru the slotted holes at the front of the motor mount part that is attached to the engine block. Those two bolts should not be tightened until the engine is lowered back into the frame. The two bolts will rest in the two recessed areas in the engine steady rest mounted on the frame. After the engine is in place and all the motor mounting bolts have been started in their threads, the two front motor mount bolts can be tightened so that they clamp onto the steady rest.
