You done what is normal here.
We don't adjust with springs on.
Pull the lifter up, put on the wrench to the lifter body, push in to hold the lifter up, take the other wrench for the nut, and bolt, and adjust the lifter, slip the valve down, take a clearance reading. When done, move to a new valve, with the spring.
We turn each cam toe down, in turn. Easy job.
