Welcome to the forum Sherry. 
Some of the rocker arms on my 272 Y-block were off-center as well. Just guessing, but if they are off by more than about 0.100", you likely have a problem. Otherwise, my engine didn't seem to mind for the many years it ran before I rebuilt it. Here is a photo showing one of the rockers that is off-center after the rebuild.
