Engine mounts shot?

Just came back from a quick overnight camp and some good four wheeling. Quick hose down and I've noticed the fan has been contacting the shroud.

There is a gap there big enough to fit my hand when not running and i can't force the plastic into the fan. Are my engine mounts shot? They "look" ok but im not a full bottle on these.

Surely someone on here has seen this before? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210605/05321eff92d2a2308bc6bfc73dcdc9e6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210605/c4c75455acfd3337023bedd7915b0cee.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210605/58fc91993f93b6ee7d636785f26cea5c.jpg

I would guess that possibly the transfer box mounts may have collapsed, for it to tilt back like that.
Maybe the engine mounts have sheared as well, and allowing motor to move forward under power.

From what i can see the front engine mounts appear to be ok. When this crappy weather passes and it stops raining I'll climb under and check the others. Hopefully its nothing sinister brewing up waiting to catch me out.

Fan seems relatively unscathed. Just scraped off all the melted plastic from the underside of the top cover and shes good to go. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210606/b1b8360904c836b556b33bdbaa1ca52f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210606/3dfe49ca514c68db6be9dba9ca8384e0.jpg

Engine and transfer case mounts all appear to be ok. When I'm home next I'll find a big pry bar and start leaning on them to confirm. But yeah this has me stumped at the moment
