tight injectors. 3vze

Hi all,
Just replaced the factory injectors with some flamethrowers. Im yet to start the car because im concerned about the injectors. I noticed when removing the plugs for the injectors that the injectors could spin around freely, and the nuts holding the fuel rails down released with a nice little 'crack', but they werent extremely tight.

Anyway...long story short- there was plenty of fuel sitting in the large outer rubber seats/cups for the injector seal, and the new injectors all went in nice and straight, and there was about 1/4" gap between the fuel rail and the lower composite rail spacer (probably the new injector seals holding the rail up). But when I nipped down the rail nuts, i noticed the new injectors dont spin at all.

Now the new seals for the bottom of the injector are very thick and rigid as far as rubber seals go, so i dont think the could have bound up and twisted or cocked over. Please tell me i dont need to rip it all apart again to re-seat the injectors, because its all back together and ready to turn the key.

I figured that because theyre new seals they might just be a nice snug fit. But now im second guessing myself eek. TIA
