Those little hats are there to help retain the lower O-rings, depending upon the injectory style, and to serve as an injector tip shield. The ones that are missing probably came loose, got inhaled into a cylinder, and vaporized during combustion. Injectors can work fine without them but my preference is that they be in place. Finding them without buying a new injector can be a bit iffy as none of the parts stores in my area carry them. I think they can be found on eBay and are called pintle caps. Of course that presents the problem of having to wait on delivery even if a Buy It Now feature is used. ---

There are 2 ways to clean injectors Bring them to a shop, where they’ll be evaluated . . . not all can be saved . . . and cleaned using some kind of a machine, and flow tested, and then returned to you They can also be cleaned on the car. The procedure is to disable the fuel pump. Hook up the cleaning solution directly to the fuel rail. Set the pressure so that the return line doesn’t send any of the stuff back to the tank. Start the engine. Let it idle on the cleaning solution until it stalls out. Disconnect the cleaning solution from the rail. Reenable the fuel pump. The other option is to exchange your set of injectors for a set which has already been serviced/overhauled ---
