I'm getting tired and I want to do this right.

Does the valve rocker on the left side look like it is off center, not directly over valve head? What would cause that?
Dave, I know you're asking Spud, so hopefully my advice doesn't lead you down the wrong path. (I stayed at a Holiday Inn express, so you mileage may vary with this reply)

The rocker arm is one piece and actuates both valves. With the proper lash, it has some play/movement. It looks like you've tightened the left valve (as you sit on the bike) a bit more than the right, and the rocker arm may be a bit askew as that valve is probably under compression.

My guess, if you were to reach in there with your and and try to wiggle the rocker arm, you won't get any movement. If that's the case, if you back off the lash on both valves, you will get that movement back and the rocker arm should re-center itself.
