2014 Mazda CX-5 sport transmission mount

Hello all, more of a general question. Im trying to replace my transmission mount and I have the new part ready to go in. I can get the through bolt connected and one of the mounting nuts in but I the two bolts that attach the mount to the chassis are causing me trouble. One of the bolts will go halfway in and then get unreasonably tight and the other wont catch at all. Is this a generally simple fix? I dont have one of those chaser bolts so id definitely have to call a mobile mechanic. Is that something they would be able to fix? The bolts themselves seem to be in decent condition as far as I can see so im assuming its the socket itself that has something funky going on.
