Sometimes you have to trim those things a tad.....look and see what it is hitting and trim some....

Nope. They're wrong. You need to drop the engine to do it properly.

Only you can tell us.....do they feel secure?

Most common problem I see, people neglect to remove the heat tape from the 2 fuel lines. Its near impossible to get the driver side one installed correctly if you don't remove that tape. You have it removed though and they look seated correctly from your pictures.

Did you put the heat deflective tape on the reverse side of the fuel rails?
