It's just a stroke of fate. I was putting an injector back together this morning after taking some pictures and thought that might be the problem. I wish my pictures had come out as well.

Ahh!..Man, I knew something wasn't right! Working at a dealership, I install mostly new injectors, so reman injectors aren't as commonly installed. I had never run into this problem. It's nice to know what kind of problems are out there like this.
Glad you figured it out.

Lol I knew it wasnt right the way it was. Thank heavens it turned out to be a simple problem where I didnt have to send the injectors back and loose about another two weeks for the install.
I'm sure RCD will be glad when I call tomorrow. They were stumped to lol. Although they didnt mention something about plugs changed in 03-04 but not enough to matter. I would just have to rotate the injector plug 45 degrees, which I did and did NOT work. lol It was worse than before. They told me the little numbers in the orange squares werent relavant, and didnt matter if they lined up. I asked about the male and female slots lining up, and they said it should be fine. Oh well. What started as a tough problem turned out to be a simple solution.
