1985 500 SEC Rocker Arm Fell Off

Hi I have a beautiful 500 SEC and it ran perfectly, no smoke, all power, and ran like a dream. I let my wife drive it and when she did she said it stalled on her. I came to her rescue and saw the the valve cover on the driver side was cracked. I had it towed to a car repair center and they took off the valve cover and said I needed a new engine , as they drooled over it. I knew that I did not need a new engine. I saw that the rocker arm had fallen off, and looked at the guides to the timing chain, and everything looked very clean and on. The springs where intact, the valves looked straight. How do I place on the rocker arm?.
