Yes, you are. Removing and reinserting them probably caused cracks. The plastic is old and brittle and likely to crack anyway. Every time you start your car, they get hit with a surge of pressure from cold oil. One day they'll go completely and your cams will no longer be lubricated. Hopefully you'll find out before the cam is destroyed.
