Putting a 71 cuda together, bb/727 and this crossmember seems to be putting the mount to far foward

I need help with this

Chrysler standardized the trans mount location in 70 doing away with the need for two cross members. Then in 71 on b body cars they changed to the spool mount for the transmission.
Hard to tell for sure from the picture but yours favors the correct one.
I posted a link to brewers website for help.

Looks like the correct factory 71 piece to me.

I agree. Are you trying to install the mount in the wrong direction?

Tabs, rubber mount goes toward the rear.

I think the poly mount I bought is making the fit a bunch tighter and has a little more meat on the forward edge that mounts to the trans

Excuse me while I work through another brain fart.
The mount faces forward.
