Better Engine mounts

The answer to all things: Struts!  (I'm assuming this is the configuration you're trying for)

Only one of those engines is attached.  The other decoupler is just for looks, but the struts are enough to keep it stable.  This particular rocket got to orbit just fine.  However... this is not the way to do this.  Best option is a better engine.  Or, if you must, attach them "radially" like @Jas0n was getting at.

It would be really helpful if you would post a screenshot of what you have.  It's nearly impossible to help with any problem in this game without seeing what you already have.

I know some mods have reasonably effective interstage adapter plates which have multiple engine nodes and a "floating" bottom node.

NovaPunch

SpaceY (and SpaceY extended)

Also notable is Procedural Parts, which has a scalable thrust plate with a center and an adjustable number of additional points in a circle, and the procedural interstage fairing from Procedural Fairings. You can attach the procedural fairing's upper node to the center node of the thrust plate (or your center engine), and put engines on the outer points.
