Roller rocker set up?

G'day Guys,
I have a collection of parts to fit a set of Scorpion roller rockers to a set of CHI heads.
I have the rockers( including the supplied "retainers"), the studs and shortly the heads.

From the parts I have it would seem that the rockers are sort of suspended between the pushrod and the valve. ie. There is no solid bottom mount for the pivot of the rocker.
Is this correct? Obviously it seems wrong to me hence the question.
I am running a mild Hyd/Roller cam.

Thanks
Mike

You've got it right mate. The valve spring and hdy. lifter support the rocker on a stud and the poly adjustment nut on top of the rocker holds it in place and provides the preload.
