Is it possible you have fitted that pair of rockers with the rocker trunnions upside down?

That may explain the mark on the stud, the trunnion was moving and flexing the stud in the process.
The trunnion has a flat recess for the posilock to seat against.

Your "rocker strike" or contact mark on the valve stem favours the stud side which means the pushrods are too long.
