The "cap" you are referring to is one of the injector seals. You can get an injector seal kit here:

FIC | FUEL INJECTOR CLINIC | INJECTOR SEAL KIT

I am not quite sure if that seal kit will fit other brand injectors or not (I have FIC injecotrs). Do you know what brand injectors you have? There is a good chance these will fit others as well.

The most important thing is absolutely DO NOT try to install the injectors without ALL the seals in place !!! You will spray fuel all over and likely have a fire.

Also when you remove/install the fuel rail to install the injectors be very careful you do not lose the black spacers on the bolts between the fuel rail and the intake manifold - they fall out easily.

I dont think the seals is the issue. Looks like your missing a piece. Something like this happened to my buddys and his injectors leaked pretty bad. Looks like thats the fuel rail side.

I appreciate your input, I knew about the seals and other rings but I was not sure it was metal like on the other injectors, They are RC incjectors also

Do you have a pic of the whole injector?

I agree, I have to believe its a piece missing. I wonder if it is replaceable?

Why not contact RCi and see if you can get that piece?
