I would consider the options of recycle the original bolt and/or nut or if it’s just a case of the bolt being too long I would cut the bolt to match the original (a bandsaw will make quick work of hardend bolts)

Correct. The replacement bolt is too long. If I were to tighten down the bolt, it would jam into the subframe. It would be MOST ideal if the bolt would be able to install on the otherside--but this is impossible given the design of the subframe.
I hope that makes sense.
