It stinks you don't have slots on the lower portion of the mounting plate...if you did, you could do the raise of the motor right in the driveway. With individualized bolt holes, a lift is needed of some sort unless you have a couple of buddies who are willing to balance the motor while you remove the bolts raise the tongue of the trailer, then reinstall the bolts.
Most definitely too low... In many cases the anti-ventilation plate can be upwards of 2 inches ABOVE the lowest point on the transom without issue... Reason being....the water starts to fill the hole back in that the boat made...
