What mounting style are you referring to?

What part "bent"?

Do you have any pics?

well the picture you are posting here is not the way my is mounted. My is mounted from inside the frame to the engine block. The picture posted here seems a lot easier to do and is at less of a angle (left to right) The actual damper shaft bent its seems do to the mounting angle. I have seen several others do this as well.

I wanted to get another and use the type of mounting pictured here it seems this will be easier to install and mounted in more of a stright line.

deflake,
I have a big washer below and above the mounting plate. My setup reinforces the existing damper, so the forces are distributed between the 2.
