rocker guide plate adjustment needed?
As you can see from the picture, rocker alignment is slightly off but roller is pretty much centered with the valve tip. There is no scuff marks on any of the push rods. Does it look like needs plate adjustment at this time?

You don't want the guide plates rubbing any of the push rods. Aftermarket heads have a wider valve spacing to accommodate larger intake ports and valve sizes. That is the cause of rocker angles.
The fix is offset rockers and or offset lifters, but you can live with your minor angles
