That right there might be why ... Taurus/Sable block is definitely different from Escape/Mariner/Tribute block.

IDK what bolts I used. Little bit a this, little bit a that... 
But in all seriousness, I used the stock 2.5L bolts...they worked.
After seeing that...I'm afraid to ride in your car... 
Anyways...Lets get this all straightened out.
The Contour mount/bolts(?) will work on which blocks?
The Cougar mount/bolts(?) are needed for which blocks?

Well all those bolts are from the 3L that I didn't need. I don't need 2 sets of header bolts and studs. I also didn't need all the timing cover bolts, and then the valve cover bolts.
As far as the taurus motor, I think Todd used a taurus block.

take the spark plugs out of the picture and the bolts with
the rubber washer which are for the valve covers and there is really not much left...looks like you have some front cover bolts...couple lower intake bolts...tranny bolt

2nd up from bottom. And also in the top sticky. You need 2 long bolts and 2 short bolts. Contour mount will not bolt to the 3L block. Different bolt size. Cougar mount is $32 from Jenkins.
 OMG I overlooked something....?!?! That sucks...so technically ALL 3L's in tour Have to have the 01+ Cougar mount... 
No, you can just drill out the holes in the motor mount to fit the larger holes on the older blocks and on the newer blocks the bolt holes are the same as the 99+ bolts.

wrong...my 2001 block has smaller bolt holes in the block than the 2.5...its not the size of the holes in the mount but the size of the bolt that fits in the block. the dowel pins pressed in the mount were too big to fit in the 3 liter block also.

okay, you had the earlier mount/bolt style, no biggie. I mentioned the later style. In your case you just use the escape/contour mount with the smaller bolts. They were identical on my engines. 99SVT->'01ESC
