Valve adjustment

Hi guys. I did my valve adjustment on my 99 prelude several weeks ago and there was a ticking sound. I thought that the clearance was off, so today I do the valve adjustment again. I am a little confused. Most of the valves are loose. What I mean is when you stick your finger and try to move the whole rocker arm with the lock nut and the adjustment screw, it moves a little. Even when I get the right clearance, I can still move the rocker arms up and down a little. Is that normal or I did something wrong?
Thank you.

You did something wrong. It's not supposed to be that loose.

You didn't try to adjust and check clearances while the engine was hot did you? That will fk it all up and require you to redo it.
