The insulators are to keep the integrity of the non-derailing feature of the switch. I will try to describe where they go to  you.  Basically the insulation pins (2 of them total) go into the two shortest rails on the switch. These rails lead to the Frog. The path of the two rails toward the frog form a small v shape. You can research it online and find lots of diagrams showing exactly where they go.
