Is there a right or wrong way to install them ? Should there be a certain clearance when completed ? There is 12 to the kit. Thanks Moparts !

Slide em on there as needed to reduce the clearance till you have ~.015" sideways clearance per pair (of rocker arms). As said shaft end notch goes down & to the rear on the pass side & down & to the front on the drivers side as this tilts the hidden bottom oiling holes in the shaft slightly (& correctly) toward the valve side live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
