I think I've done something wrong!

Diligence in looking at all of the valves at that location to see that it's not happening should let you gently close the cover by going around equally with the bolts to evenly bring the two surface together. If that makes sense :)

I understand. I retracted the screws until all were inside the rocker. It’s all done now.

I'm with you now I used NJ's trick using eleastic bands between the opposite rockers to hold them up into the cam cover with the tapett adjusters fully retracted then when fitting the cam cover using the sequence in the manual working outwards on each side from the middle iirc - the sequence is in the manual as you will know.
I do remeber having to ask about the assembly order of the springs on the rocker shaft as I did not take a strip down photo.
Didn't take a photo but this is NJ's photo.

Clever that; wish I had seen that earlier.
But it's on now, for better or for worse. Will see tomorrow, when try to start it.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
If it's not too late then Honda Manual here shows you how to do the valve clearances quickly and easily with the minimum of engine rotations with the spark plugs out.

I'll be doing that particular task, which I hate, tomorrow, using my new tool, once I go and get a 9mm ring spanner that is!
