Default Grooves in Rockers and Fulcrums

I'm rebuilding my jeep's motor and I'm putting together the cylinder head right now. I have noticed that both the rockers and fulcrums have grooves that go from wide to skinny, what I don't know is whether these grooves need to line up or cross?

Yeah they are oem.
Okay I'll go back through and line them up. I just don't want my valve train to go eventually, due to the rockers not getting proper oil.

Make sure you don't twist the bridges when torquing them done.

Yeah I was careful with that, I would do each side little by little switching back and forth.
