At 2000+ psi, the spray pattern is not going to be affected by much whether the injector is horizontal or vertical. Make sure you put a clear jug on each injector and don't shoot any fuel into your skin.

ps what is a "gauge with a top pressure needle"?

The liquid filled gauges with pop pressure needle. If you search around here for DIY pop tested you'll find it it.

Ah pop pressure tester. I know what they are. I have one. I was thrown off when you said "gauge with top pressure needle".

I thought the gauges used are just high pressure glycerine filled gauges. The glycerine dampens the vibration of the needle when pop testing and makes reading the gauge easier. I ddn't know they were called gauges with pop pressure needle.
