Start with one side of the fuel rails, fitting all 4 injectors into the intake manifold bores and pressing it down, then go to the opposite side of the engine and line up the other 4 injectors and press that side home.

Possibly the rear of the rails is caught on something??

It helps to put a little lube on the o-rings. The problem is that they are "angled" toward the center, so you can't force both sides in at the same time. Its easier to work one side at a time, at least from the times I've done it.
