make sure there all lined up with the hole. Then just give the fuel rail a nice wack with the palm of your hand to seat them in place.

I usually spray WD-40 on the rings and wiggle the rail into place.

I like using a little liquid soap on my fingers to lubricate the o-rings then a little on a fat Q-tip smearing it in the injector bores (doesn't harm the rubber) and cleans the bores out
