This is just how /. (ReplaceAll) works.
>From http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/ReplaceAll.html

ReplaceAll looks at each part of expr, tries all the rules on it, and then goes on to the next part of expr. The first rule that applies to a particular part is used; no further rules are tried on that part, or on any of its subparts.

---

So, all what is need is to change /. to //. :

In[1]:= !!pol2.m <<HighEnergyPhysics`FeynCalc` Print[" "]; (* {$AL[1], $AL[2]} = {mu, nu}; (* $AL are predefined dummy indices *) *)

FI; IP = InputForm; constraint = { FeynCalcInternal[ FV[e2, muPAT] FV[e2, nuPAT] -> PolarizationSum[mu, nu, p2]] /. {muPAT :> mu_, nuPAT :> nu_}, FeynCalcInternal[ FV[e4, muPAT] FV[e4, nuPAT] -> PolarizationSum[mu, nu, p4]] /. {muPAT :> mu_, nuPAT :> nu_}}; M = SP[p1, e2]^2 SP[p2, e4]^2 tmp = Uncontract[Expand[M], e2, e4, Pair -> All, Unique -> False]; Print[" "]; Print["check constraint : ", IP@constraint]; Print[" "]; Print["contract and using the constraint : ", IP@FeynCalcExternal@Contract[tmp //. constraint]]

In[1]:= <<pol2.m Loading FeynCalc from /home/rolfm/HighEnergyPhysics FeynCalc 8.1.0 Type ?FeynCalc for help or visit http://www.feyncalc.org/ $PrePrint is set to FeynCalcForm.
