Default Adjustable push rods question

wanted to just take a look at my push rods. Im not qualified to do anything with them..but I want to look to see if there was anything obvious. Having some clatter thats maybe normal.

After being parked for a day 3 of the push rods can spin freely. 1 is very tight and will not move. Front exahust. This one is the highest and must be pushing on the rocker. I just wonder if it was normal to stay that tight for several hours..or days to where they won't budge.

These are se pushrods installed by dealer with a cam.
