And I believe the rocker stud for this valve is a bit higher than the others. Its hard to photograph but when I put a straight edge across the top of the rockers, the gap between the straight edge and the top of the stud is definitely less on this rocker.

It sounds like the Press in stud has back-out.

Screw in studs are an Option.

Take your time and find the Exact issue.
