If I remember correctly there are 2 slots at the top of the SVO injectors but one does not go all the way around the injector and I believe that is the top one. You have to utilize the lower slot and it moves the injector up in the fuel rail so it seems like there is not enough room for it to seat in the intake manifold but it does, you just have to make sure that your fuel rails are properly mounted. Hope this helps

I didn't have to do anything to mine, the clips slid right in. I am not sure what is going on with yours, so the clips fit but they just won't stay??

Use the one that you do not have to cut, I knew it was one way or the other, if you use the one that is cut all the way around you will be fine
