Default URGENT - Help with fuel injector install - missing part - can i use it still?

Hey guys,

I bought some injectors from a member on here and they are missing a piece. I am wanting to know if I can still install use it without this piece. To me it looks like all it does is hold on the o ring but I want to make sure its okay if I still use it. This is my daily driver so I need to know if I can use it or swap back to my old injectors until I can hopefully get a new one from the member I bought them from. Pictures are below. See the black ring on the top of the injector (the silver metal part). See how it seems to hold the o ring on.

Thanks guys!

Will

Logically it would seem that the o-ring would seat and would not need that additional ring. Even so I would not install them. Some engineer who gets paid a lot more than me feels that it's necessary.
