Ah, the pintle caps...
Yes, on the new caps the whole is bigger. Apparently, it helps with atomization...
To get them on, use your favourite petrolium based "personal" lubricant, and a small vice. Make SURE that the injector seats in the vice such that the pintle ends up between the grooves in the jaw. Now slowly tighten the vice until it "clicks".
I've done this a bunch of times, because those damn things always crack on me.
