Puzzle 125: Skyscrapers Domino Construction

Another Skyscrapers Domino Construction, to bang your head against. If that’s your thing.

Edit I’ve since convinced myself there’s a reasonable way through. Still really hard, but no longer a puzzle I feel bad about.

Rules Place the given set of dominoes in the marked domino tiles. Whenever two dominoes touch by an edge, the adjacent numbers must be the same. Clues outside the grid are skyscraper clues: They indicate the number of visible skyscrapers when looking along the corresponding row or column from that point, where each number represents a skyscraper of that height. Skyscrapers are blocked from view by those of greater or equal height.

Or see the instruction booklet.
