They're a pain, right? Make sure you've got some engine oil on the o-rings. I didn't do this, but you might want to use a q-tip to put a light coating of oil inside the injector's holes, in the intake manifold.

The fuel rail needs to be forced down, but even when you force it down, it'll still be raised about a 1/4 inch. Next, you'll need to thread in the bolts that hold the fuel rail down to the intake manifold- these bolts will force the rail down all the way.
