This is the error I'm seeing on the server I'm helping with https://hastebin.com/ceqisopuvo.css

The author should use this to make sure their json files are valid http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/

So the description for Engineers Workshop is a tad misleading, for the 1.7.10 version, which I assume is what you are using to get this same error that I did, you need the Ewy's Workshop plugin. It's the same dude. Though sadly this older version doesn't give the North-South-East-West options for picking sides. It's a tad confusing being left-right-back-front options. Luckily top and bottom are easy enough.

Edit: Derp. I had assumed that it worked on the 1.10.2 version without error as I was able to use the Skyfactory 3 modpack which contains the Engineers Workshop mod. However, I can see this Json error as mentioned above in this modpack as well.

We're using 1.3.5-1.10.2 which is for 1.10.2, as seen here: https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/engineers-workshop

The error tells me it's a problem with the mcmod.info, not the plugin version. Looking at that file, I think I see why. @JorVaCoding or @EwyBoy should look into fixing it with the json parser I posted above
