Default Loud Hissing after changing fuel injectors

2006, A4 3.2L Quattro,
I just recently finished changing my fuel injectors, and cleaning the valves. I put everything back together, new lower manifold gaskets, new upper manifold gaskets, new injectors already had the o-ring, split spacer and nylon ring on them. I have no loose plugs that I can find, all hoses plugged in that I can tell. New fuel filter, new spark plugs, new oil and filter, new air filter.

I cleared any codes and it started right up, BUT has a really loud hissing noise that i am sure is vacumn. It sounds like it's coming from under the upper manifold.

Does anyone have ideas of what to check. I am going to take the manifold off just in case but if I put it back on and it still hisses where can I look for typical leak points.

When i put the upper manifold on a gasket slipped out and behind the fuel rail. When I lifted the manifold to see what was wrong and didn't see it until taking it off a second time.
