Default Adjustable Guide Plate Issue

Aligning my roller tips to the push rods I am noticing my contact pattern is heavy on one side of the valve. The Roller tip is centered on the valve, the roller itself is tilted or "Cambered" slightly. It appears the stud when torqued is pulling into the clearance on the guide plate. With out a guide plate I get a good even patch. Has anyone had to run washers or anything under their studs on top of the guide plates to flatten the seating out? These are Pre 2002 E heads with 3/8" pushrods and Harland Sharp Rockers.
