I'll check it and report back, I know it was centered over the valve and that preload is correct. If the wipe pattern is wider than .060 but the preload is correct then how do you get it in spec?

Centered is good and you likely won't get it narrower once its centered. That's a function of the rocker design and lift. Narrower is better and 0.060" is a good target if you can get there. I was fortunate on my YT setup, the width was 0.045 or less.
There are some who also like to bias it slightly to the intake side of the valve stem so that the larger spring forces (as the valve is opening) are acting closer to the center.
