Default Injectors

I bought a set of Racetronix injectors and they dont fit as far down as my stock injectors. My question is how far do they need to sit in order not to cause issues? The O rings in both the rail and the intake are pretty tight and I doubt they would leak. Here are some pics of the Racetronix vs stock.

What's hitting? The o-ring or is the injector just a larger diameter?

Ya you can kinda see in the first pic the injector is too fat to sit down any further.

I dont know about these injectors but my motron injectors you need to run a spacer on the fuel rail bolts. I have yet to install them in the intake so I dont know if they sit all the way down like the stockers. Just a thought...

Ya I had to space the rail up almost a full inch. I'm not really too concerned with that. I just don't want to run into an issues with the spray pattern being to wide and soaking the intake or something that shouldn't be soak in fuel and causing a fire or something. Am I just being paranoid?
