I still suggest spinning the pushrod to find zero as in my previous post. You spin the pushrod as you tighten the adjuster screw. When you can't spin the pushrod then you are at zero preload. Now turn the adjuster screw the recommended amount and tighten the nut. Done ... move on to the next.
The problem is with today's hydraulic lifters there is no load with a bleed down lifter and you might not feel any resistance with the spin test. You need to watch the plunger for fist signs of movement to first find zero preload. I've seen guy do the spin test and run the lifter to fully collapsed and not know it.
