I would suggest attaching the fuel lines to the rail before installing the rail and turning the switch on to pressurize the rail to verify that nothing is leaking.
I tried using the screws in the cap to put mine in and ended up with this:

After that mess i just layed the cap on top of the injector and lightly tapped the cap wth a hammer until the injector was fully seated. Worked like a charm.

Take the fuel rail out. Lube the o-rings with a smear of engine oil, then carefully insert the injector into the rail horizontally, and hand tighten it down while turning. May need a little effort, but not too hard. When the big o-ring seats, you can put the cap on and hand tighten the screws evently. Reconnect the fuel line, pressurize the system and check leaking. Then put everything back on. Including my friends' VG, i have done this, for god's sake, 8 times without any problems.
