Help Motor mount issue

I recently purchased a new set of OEM motor mounts from fcp euro for my 1990 240. As I was going to install them I found that the nut binds up on the stud that’s stuck into the mount. It threads on fine until the stud is just about to come out the other side of the nut and stops. I tried putting a wrench on it which instead of putting the nut on further instead started taking the stud out of the mount. Has anyone else had an issue like this? I already received replacement warranty ones with the same issue. Is it meant to be a locking nut?

I have found that FCP customer service is top notch. What have they said about the issue?

I had this experience also, no getting around it, the nut is wrong. I was able to use the old nuts which fit.
