I think its only the rocker arm thats moving, the nut is stationary. You might try, tighten until the clack is gone and then back off quarter turn. I could be wrong, I don't think you should be able to hear the lifter though. I think I did it that way about 30 yrs. ago. Good luck, I'am sure someone will have the right answer, I don't think this is the rocket science part of auto repair.

I was always told turn it till the noise stops, then another quater to half turn more.
