3 really good points here.

They might even have slipped out of place. Feel where they fit in the bottom 
end of the rocker arms. Do they feel like they are in place, just like the 
others?

You could also just unbolt the rocker shaft and pull it off. Then you could 
check the rocker arms to make sure they are all free moving. While the rockers 
are off, pull the pushrods out, one at a time, and just casually inspect them.
