This is how to du : you must move the steam engine so that it is rignt on the right of your boiler, touching it.
You may also remove the pipes oon the left of your boiler.
This pic might illustrate what I'm saying :

[Edit] : I hadn't seen everything in your screen capture.
This is the right way to do it :
Bu the way, if you press Alt, the additional information will help you a lot solving the puzzle (You can see the water and steam icons on my boiler, and the steam input on the steam engine:).
Ignore the radar, it's there to drain a little electricity.

Water is connected to output of the boiler.
Press alt to enable extended info - boiler inputs are the symetrical pipes and it's output with steam for steam engine is the side pipe.
