Looking at your pic, the bolt does indeed look misaligned with the hole in the bracket.

Can I suggest the following:
Using one of the original rubbers, drill the hole in the bracket out big enough to take it before passing the bolt through the rubber. This should utilise the rubber to take care of any misalignment.

If the original rubbers can't be made to fit, you will need to find some other rubber to substitute. Perhaps even a bit of rubber tube/hose could be made to slide over the bolt and take up the play in the larger hole. Use a couple of "penny" washers to "trap" the rubber in the hole.

Hope this helps.
