It's normal.... as you tighten down the support plate (slowly, evenly in a criss cross pattern) the pushrods will push down into the lifters and things will even out

As you tighten them down, evenly pull/push them toward the right side (pushrod side) to center them properly and align with pushrods to help with defeating any valvetrain noise.
