 It would appears that all new parts are either inferior or superior, usually depending on the cost of the part concerned.
If you suspect the mounts are the problem,check them first. Tighten the bolts to the correct torque, check that the rubber has not come adrift on one of them when you lowered the engine and tightened them. Check for metal to metal contact, including the trans mount. If the problem persists and you narrow it down to engine mounts, fit new ones. Fit them one at a time, that may give you a clue.
Check the exhaust mountings,exhausts can resonate with engine speed.
Check that no other parts are close to the engine, that may make contact at certain RPM. power steering hoses are good for this.
The transmission filler can also touch the body, possibly depending on engine torque.
