Default Front Subframe install

Hi All,
I'm hoping i can get some advise and help.
I installed a /jdm steering rack to my 2008 stinkeye sti, but i'm having a huge issue reinstalling the sub-frame as i had to lower it to connect the high and low pressure lines again.

Can any one give help advice how to align back my sub-frame so i can get my car back to togeher please help..

Stinkeye, why not just call it a Hatch??

Are you talking about the main crossmember and not just the crossmember support ??

If so, when lowering it did you release the engine mounts and hang the engine off a hoist as mentioned below??

I would imagine lifting the engine will allow the crossmember to return to its proper position.
