Valves - Just doesn't seem right

I'm doing my valves for the third time in 3 days.

The first time I confused metric with inches

Second time I very carefully adjusted all valves to .06mm lash. I checked and rechecked each valve before and after tightening, until the after tightening resulted in .06mm gap on all four valves. Started the bike up and it sounded terrible, like the valves were way too loose.

Third time I being even more careful. Here are pictures from the intake (under fuel tank - yes, my full pump bolts were loose and I hand tightened them).

The right valve looks right but the left screw needs to be too loose to result in .06mm.

I expect that both screws should be about the same height when I have both valves adjusted properly. Is this correct?

Suggestions?

PS The more I do this the faster the process becomes.
