Default Rx8 injectors

Hello everyone, very noob so sorry if there's a simple answer. I'm near end my turbo build on my nb1. After a few things I broke I "fixed" I was ready to turn it on. As soon as I turned the car to start I smelt fuel so I looked underneath the hood
cylinder 4 fuel injector was leaking heavily because it was seated inside the block correctly. Took intake off put it back in correctly, after I tried to start I smelt fuel again, cylinder 1 was leaking but seated properly. After many on offs of the intake I replaced all o rings and injectors.
now that being done cylinder 4 injector pops out the rail from the pressure and cylinder 1 shoots fuel between the rail and itself. Car doesnt start but cranks. Any help? Please and thank you

Don't try to crank it if it is leaking fuel. Fix that first.

Did you use the fuel rail mounting spacers?

yes I did, everything was put back. Only thing I could think would be the fuel pressure regulator
