When using Porsche swivel feet adjusters on stainless valves along with the steel pushrods, how should the adjusters feet be positioned on the valves? Should they be directly centered with the contact surface of the valves or should they be offset a tad?

It doesn't matter if the adjuster is dead center.
The adjuster doesn't spin the valve, the twisting/wrapping action of the spring working does that. A stock valve the keeper allows the valve to spin, but high performance guys for decades have been grinding keepers to increase clamping force of the keeper. Since the valve/keeper no longer spins the twisting action makes the spring itself rotate, why it's important to run at least one steel shim under each spring. |
