It doesn't exactly slide right in, but the entire assembly tightens down smoothly.
Did you wipe off the injectors before you snapped the after pic? I imagine it would be pretty difficult to get these in dry. I think our service manual relies on leftover oil from the seal installation. Mazda actually specifies applying engine oil directly to the cylinder head hole.
Never seen anything about freezing these either.
