Once the adenovirus penetrates a body cell, the DNA enters the nucleus of the cell and is instructed to manufacture an antigen and express it (build it) on the surface of the cell membrane.

Your question is the result of my unfortunate use of the word "inserted". The vaccine contains snippets of mRNA that code for the antigen protein - a small section of the spike protein. This mRNA makes its way into the muscle cells surrounding the injection site, whereupon the cells beome antigen factories. I don't know if it's an active uptake or osmosis.
