Just got some STI injectors

Yellow-top side feed injectors supposedly out of a 2004 STI
Just a few questions:
What is the purpose of the grey caps on the top of the injector?
One of the injectors I received was missing the cap, while another had a cracked cap. I used a razor blade and popped the caps off of the others, and they didn't seem to be on there very tight, so I am guessing it isn't really pertinent to the operation of the injector.
What is the little brass thing under the aforementioned caps?
On the injector that was initially missing the cap, that piece seems to sit slightly lower in the body of the injector than the others. If this piece is supposed to move, is this acceptable? All of the others seem to be at the same level, so it had me wondering.
I got these off of eBay and just got them today. If these are screwed up, I will protest and get my cash back, so quick responses would be appreciated. It will be quite a while before I install these, so 'just put them in and find out' is not an option.
