You cant mount the face/door frame solidly to the fireplace insert (or metal support framework). If you do, the uneven heating and cooling (which means expansion and contraction), things will break and warp. Mortar should never be against anything metal, much less metal that expands and contracts as much as a fireplace. The mortar you mentioning being in there could have caused the warping. More likely though, it was the mounting bolts not allowing the door frame to move through the heat cycles. Mounting bolts should barely be tighter than finger tight and always have washers so the frame can slide under the bolts.
Straighten your door frame.
Make sure you mount bolts allow movement and are not too tight.
Keep anything solid out of the door frame gap (including mortar). Fill will fiberglass rope.
Skip the tapcon idea, thats heading you further down the road you are comming from (failure). Head in the opposite direction (allowing movement).
