the lifter can not by itself get sideways, because the lifter holder is designed to prevent it.
I never had one but I think is a colapsed lifter, I think what "they" meant by this is that the seal in the little chek valve in the lifter is no longer "sealing" (they have a fixed "bleeding" rate) and the hat of the lifter simply is bottoming out in its range of adjustment.
