Default Rocker arm/pushrod doubt...

I'm replacing the valve covers on my L82. Heads are Holley 12001

I'm seeing right now something weird to me on one of the rocker arms/pushrods.

All are at the same position except one of them. If I'm not wrong on the left head all were equal.

Should I be worried or this is normal

See the picture, 3rd one from the right

Thanks, you bring me peace of mind. I thought that it wouldn't be the only one in a different position.

Actually engine does not tick or make any kind of weird noise. I thought for a moment I had a stuck valve out there.
