Ticking Noise
Alright I noticed a bit of a ticking noise at idle (becomes hard to hear at anything other than idle). You can really only identify it with the hood up and really looking for it. My phone isolated the majority of the other sounds and you can hear it pretty plainly. It does not sound like valvetrain clatter, nor does it shake like its low on oil. I will post the link to the video. Is it a stuck lifter, or maybe its an exhaust leak (these header gaskets are iffy at best). Could I not have a spark plug 100% in?

headers? That usually is an issue no matter what. If you have a vehicle with headers and does not have some kind of leak then you would be the FIRST! The gaskets will tend to leak worse at idle first off, then as they continue to burn out it will get more noisy. Typically.
Kinda hard to tell, it doesn't really sound like exhaust leak from your video. More metallic like. In person I'm sure it is much easier to discern.
How to fix it?
Leave the hood shut and turn up the radio.
