Those adjusters look well down lower than normal, so short pushrods makes sense. How are you measuring the pushrod length? Top of cup to end of ball, or bottom of cup to end of ball?
That's not a ton of lift so that would be less likely to cause the pushrod to contact the hole. But, the short pushrods and the resulting adjuster position would move the pushrod over towards the side of the hole where your pix shows contact, so that could be the reason for the bending.
