Could you please take some pictures from a bird's eye perspective on the head in your free time (if you have any left)?
Or, at least a picture of the sight that is truly troubling you.

The problem of tilted rocker arms running with their edges grinding into the cam lobes is gone - this was rectified by positioning the rocker arm groups correctly.
Group of two => sits over cylinders 1 and 2
Group of three => sits over cylinders 3, 4 and 5
(Just as you said)
If you try and fit the group of two over the back cylinders you get the arched effect which then means the rockers are tilted...
The problem now is that whilst the rocker arm surfaces are in parallel with the cam lobes they do not sit correctly in line.
Just like this:-
See for example the last set of rocker arms on the right hand side of this picture (over cylinder 3)
