Default Rocker arm help, please

Is there a special technique for installing the rocker arms or will they naturally assume the optimum position of alignment in the concave seats on the individual mount bosses? The first one I installed appeared to seat crooked.

Tighten them down with the cam on the base circle of the particular rocker you are tightening. Tighten to 22 lb ft and that should be it.
