2004 EC200 expansion chamber mount point

Noticed a vibration on my EC200 and it appears the lower exhaust pipe mount has sheared off. I can't understand how it works as there is no way I could force the pipe mount bracket to line up with the frame bracket as per photos. Am I missing something obvious, the mounts i have seen online seem to have a bolt that goes right through, but the bolt that attached the rubber to the pipe mount doesnt go all the way through and it has a tapered finish i.e. it has not snapped off. Any ideas?
Note, second photo shows the "other side" of the rubber bush propped up on the water pump, it really looks like it has been sheared off

"exhaust silentblock" is what you need to look for

You can get the mount from any GG dealer. Your pipe is bent and needs to be straightened so it will line up again.

The exhaust isolater or "silent block" has two offset tabs that sandwich a rubber piece and will allow it to line up.

thats what i thought, but there seem 2 different types available and the 04 model seems to be the straight through type. Someone mentioned taking the pipe of and bending it but it would need to come about 30mm down and thats going to compromise the upper mount

McMasterCarr has the isolation dampener you need, once you get the pipe sorted.

Here's a video on how to bend the neck.

When I bend the pipe's inlet pipe, I clamp the lower mount in a vice.
Take a long wooden dowel ( procured from the wife's closet) , insert it in the inlet. Grab the outlet and manipulate the dowel to adjust the inlet neck where you want it.
