GSL-SE FB, FC or FD? Vehicle info is extremely helpful.
If it's leaking from the rail, yes, it could in fact be a damaged o-ring. When installing injectors, I find it's best to rotate them as you press into the rail. This keeps the o-ring from getting pinched.
The other possibility is a leak at the fuel lines going in/out of the rail. Replace with high pressure fuel injection hose if the case.
In what way are your RC injector o-rings different from stock? FC injectors use an 11mm o-ring (if I recall right), so as long as it's the correct diameter for the rail & fits the injector, it'll work.

I recently had RC clean, flow, and replace all o-rings/pintle caps on my S4 TII injectors. They appear to be the same as what I pulled out. Fit in my S5 TII rails perfectly also.
Did you lube the o-rings when you installed? I always take a bit of vaseline and run a super thin light layer around the O.D. of the o-ring. Also light twisting when pressing into the rail.
