Default injector leak

when my car was misfiring we took off the fuel rail and injectors that was a big mistake because we cant get them back together without gas leaking. i know you're supposed to put the injectors on the rail first b4 putting them into the intake manifold. i used a vice to squeeze them in there and they still leak. brand new o rings too. im guessing that those little clips is what holds them in there all the way. but injector 3 was leakin a little then i turned it a little bit and it stopped but now they are leaking really bad. how do you put them in the right way?

use engine oil to lube the o rings before you put them in.

now im startin to get pissed cuz i installed and re installed it several times. and it will work fine with no leak then when you shut it off and turn it back on it sprays everywhere. i went and got new clips and o rings and everything slips in soooo nice and perfectly then when you start it back up it sprays everywhere.

i think i got it now. 3 of the 4 injectors are clipped to the rail and one of them wont clip cuz the clip is old and risted but its not leaking. and i started it and stopped it about 10 times and it hasnt leaked a drop. althrough i did get the service engine soon light for the first 3-4 cycles then i just went off. im assuming that the wd 40 i sprayed on the fuel rail got in the engine so i ges its not a big deal. but the injector thats not clipped is moved down a little bit so i might put a better clip on that injector and put the worse one on a different injector that will cooperate.
