Default rocker shaft spring not pressing out

I have a 98 Honda Civic w D16Y7 engine
I had head remachined and they had to rework the exhaust valves, cam shaft, put new valve seals on....

after installing the block ..it was noisy (they had also adjusted the valve lash)...
after trying to adjust the valve lash again I notices that the end rocker arm
could slide left and right... this is because the rocker arm spring is bent in and not pushing out
...see picture https://flic.kr/p/pPEXWu
and video

could this cause noise ?
could this cause harm if not fixed ?
should they have caught this ?
is it possible to take off the end block and slide this off and fix ..or is that pretty complicated (I'm a rookie)
recommendations ?
