O.k. I don't like how much the engine moves and the losses cause of it. So I was thinking about changing my motor mounts but seen a few videos where the car's shook really bad after changing them. Would i be better off just getting the torque dampener

You'll pretty much get some shake with most aftermarket motor mounts. Sounds like one or perhaps more than one mounts are done for on your car. But I am assuming your car is stock k20a3 with no mods. A torque dampener would help but how would you feel about having defective motor mounts ? Best thing to do is replace the bad mounts with new OEM replacements and add the torque dampener.

I have Avid 70a but with a swapped a2 plus some mods. I love them yet I still get some shake. These particular mounts I purchased because I liked the design on the passenger side mount as opposed to others.

Much regards.

I bought them I can deal with a lil shake I guess for better shifts and no more wheel hop it's worth it

For better shifts, you'd probably be better off getting a BCSS and some bushing replacements.

What mods do you have? If none, wheel hop should be not a big problem, and you probably have issues with suspension bushings and/or your suspension itself.
