Default fuel injector marks

In the process of re-installing my fuel injectors after replacing the injector seals and o-rings on my 92 Accord. The manual says be sure to align the center line on the injector with the mark on the fuel rail. For the life of me I cannot see any such marks on the fuel rail for alignment the four injectors. Any comments/help please.

When I do my injectors, I don't ever line them up.

My book which is a Chilton Accord/Prelude repair manual that covers years '84 through '95 specifically states to line make sure the center lines on the injectors match up with the marks on the fuel rail. I'm looking at the fuel rail now and see no such marks. So I don't get it. Maybe there is no marks, but that's what it says in the book.

Line them (injectors) so the connector is facing the front of the car....as close to it as you can get, I hope you have new seals ?

LostAgain, thanks for that diagram. Yes I've installed new seals (which was actually the reason I removed the injectors in the first place). In my manual it has a diagram (as I'll post with this below), which caused me confusion because I don't seem to have those little triangular shape marks it shows on the intake manifold, and my diagram seems to show the injector there at an angle, not necessarily facing frontwards. I'll just line them (injectors) connectors facing the front of the car as you advise and as your diagram shows. Here's what is shown in my book:

not sure why you're having so much trouble with this...don't worry about the triangles...yes there is no such mark...however the fuel injector itself has a notch and the fuel rail has a mark or line on it. Just sit the fuel rail with the injector into the intake manifold without tightening it down..then look at the fuel rail from the front of the car and line up the notch on each injector with the mark/line on the fuel rail opposite of each injector...this is very easy.
