How do hydraulic flat tappet lifters fail?

from the picture it looks like the lifter is side ways did you get chevy lifters ,smaller in dia or does the lifter bore need a sleeve ,and it looks like you have 2 lifters touching 1 lobe but i'm old and half blind.
Good eye! I turned that lifter sideways to inspect it, and it’s just a weird camera angle on the other lifter. It’s not touching the other one, it is directly over the correct lobe.
