HELP! Bilstein HD's have destroyed my brand new strut mounts in less than 100 miles! 700 1991

Installed Bilstein HD's in my 91 740 two days ago; replaced strut mounts and strut rod bushings as well. In less than 100 miles of driving, the Bilsteins have busted/popped the new strut mounts. I got the mounts (which are scan-tech from FCP Groton) thinking they were fine as no one has ever mentioned heavy duty strut mounts (are there such a thing?) when installing Bilsteins. Why has this happened do you think? Are the Bilsteins that strong or the Scan tech mounts that weak? I NEED to replace these mounts ASAP (I can't drive with them the way they are) and need to order replacements tomorrow. What brand/type of mounts do I need to withstand the pressure of the Bilsteins? Any help is appreciated as I'm in a tight bind time-wise; I need to get to school and back so I need a car! Thanks.
