Default Injector leak

My 88 corvette got an injector leak so I bought the new oring kit for it but the top oring on the injector seems to be smaller than the bottom one but the kit has all the same size and I can't get the injector into the fuel rail far enough to put the clip on.. Any ideas?

Should be the same size O ring.
Did you lube them before attempting to install ??
