First check to see If they are the correct ones and not upside down. Then check all injector holes for o-rings that did not come out or double o-rings on the injectors, then lube the o-rings on injectors and they should go in.

Was it hot when you tore it apart? If so the holes expanded if it was aluminum maybe shrank from plastic. Try it when the engine is cold like a room temperature if the old ones came out the new ones should go in.
