Look on the uas website.They have urethane engine mounts,which i hear are far superior to the original.

RPW have them cheaper

How can I check my own mounts? Like, are they visible from the engine bay?

front one is the big metal arm on the far left of the engine bay connected to the engine with a rubber thing in the middle

poly ones give u less lift on takeoffs too

(compared to normal ones)

if u broke the metal bits though you cant replace those with polyeurethane

There are 4 mounts on the FTO motor. One on the arm on the left of the engine, one one the right connected to the gearbox & two below the motor connected to the cross member - they are the ones that commonly go. The cross member is sorta not a crossmember as it goes from the front of the motor to the back (rather than left to right) and it has a mount at both the front & back of it.
