Comp Cams roller width

Any one have a set of Comp Cams Pro Magnum roller rockers and can measure the width of the roller. I have one slightly misaligned rocker where the narrow roller is a little off center on the valve stem. Since the heads are the narrow slotted guide in the head type there is no easy fix. I would think a wider roller
and steel construction of these roller rockers could make this a bolt on fix.

They're not supposed to be perfectly centered, or flat. They're supposed to ride around the edge of the valve slightly, to try to make the valve tend to rotate.

As long as the roller is on the stem, it's probably OK.
