Default Bosch 210’s on truck intake

Just installed Bosch 210’s on a truck intake with the stock rail. Also installed the injector top hat spacers recommended on the wiki. My issue is the factory injector lock doesn’t actually “grab” the injector top hat spacer. So I was just wondering what keeps the spacer on the injector when the rail is pressurized. Are the four stock rail bolts enough to keep the top hats secured onto the injector? Just don’t want to burn it to the ground.

looks good from here, you'll know if theres a leak pretty quick when you cycle the ignition on to purge the rails of air a few times

You don’t need the clips. But I will warn you to make sure the fuel rail is fully bolted down. I was testing the fuel system and I left one bolt out and the other 3 in but the pressure was able to push the rail off the injector and shoot fluid all over the engine bay. This was 43psi... not 58.
