Default Injectors Cleaning

Guys i was cleaning my engine bay the other day and i found out that what it looks like fuel residue around few of the injectors, what made me think it's fuel is that our fuel is red in color. Any way so i took the injectors out to clean them out and to put a new O rings on them and to clean out the intake at the same time.
My friend took the injectors to a shop to clean them and flow test them
and here's what we found out one of them is a bet higher than the others. So my question is should i be worried or not? And what should i do?

When I buy new injectors they are flow tested and have a chart with the percentage difference in flow.I put the highest flow ones in #7 & 8.I don't know what is acceptable but remeber the injector had to fire a bunch or times to get that tube to that level.If the plugs look fine and the car runs ok then I wouldn't worry about it.
