Having a hard time comprehending exactly what your saying.

Most likely cause that your rockers got launched out of place is from catastrofic valvetrain to piston contact... Hope this helps.
 
You can try to reinstall the rockers by the method found here. Then turn the engine over by hand and attempt to line up the timing marks checking for interference. Or you can pull the timing belt like you are going to do a normal timing job (you can do the balance shaft belt at that time as well), reinstall the rockers the by pulling the camshafts, reinstall the timing belt, and try turning the engine over by hand to check for interference. Usually when rockers are thrown off, it means bent valves due to jumped timing.
