Default exhaust valves rockers are 2 tight?

i just put my head back together and i was adjusting the valves and all of the rear larger rockers are too tight they dont move much even with the screw turned out as far as it will go. what would cause this? and how do i fix it? i never took the assembly apart. all i did was remove the rocker assembley to change the valve seals.

make sure nothing is in the way of the arm going down (ie lost motion assembly in the correct place and everything IN place). also make sure the valve is seated all the way.

is the rocker arm stuck? if its stuck down, id lift it off and make sure nothing is where it shouldnt be.
