Help determining valve Tappet health

I am reassembling my 3.2 and have a question.

In this video: https://youtu.be/dnX6H1NdXwY

You can see that the C1 E2 tappet is very easy to push in. All of the others I am not able to move like this at all. I switched it (temporarily) with the C1 E1 tappet and it still moved the same way, the tappet that did not move in C1 E1 also did not move in C1 E2.

Does this mean:
1. This tappet is bad.
2. This tappet is good and the rest are shot.
3. Nothing, stop asking stupid questions and get back to work so you can drive the car.

As always, thank you!
