older 1600s, diffuser, o-ring, spacer which? pics included

so, I bought an old rotorsports secondary rail and accompanying 1600 cc injectors. When they got here I noticed that they included the stock diffusers which fit on the injector perfectly. I'm not sure what to do right now, as I have the LIM spacers and 4 stock diffusers.
Should I:
A) clip the prongs and basket from the diffuser and use it as is

B) do the same as above, except instead of the top o-ring on the basket, use the LIM spacers instead

C) use the diffuser with the prongs and basket

D) use the diffuser, prongs, basket, no o-ring, and spacer

E) don't use any part of the diffuser and just use the spacer (least likely option as it doesn't appear to seal correctly, if at all)

F) diffuser, prong, basket, o-ring, and spacer (not likely either because the injector doesn't appear to sit as deeply which I don't really like either.

F) another option that I'll listen to advice on

I like option A or B the best, but what do you guys think?

I agree as well just use the metal seal, maybe just a little RTV as well.
