Engine Sagging! Need Advice!

A couple of days ago I was changing the camber on my 06 Cooper S when I noticed the passenger side coilover seemed stuck in the shock tower (i.e it would not drop when I released the bolts) After some hard pushing I got it out and I immediately noticed the drive shaft on the passenger side was putting alot of pressure on the coilover. The only way I was able to get the coilover back into the shock tower was by slightly lifting the engine on the driver side thus release the pressure on the passenger side drive shaft. When I let the engine back down i noticed it dropped about an inch from where it should normally sit. Could this be a bad lower motor mount or gearbox mount? I replaced the upper passenger side motor mount about 6000-8000 miles ago with a TSW mount. Any thoughts on what this could be?
