Download the free manual and it tells you how to adjust the vales.

Some side to side play is normal. Clearance between the rocker and valve stem at TDC of compression stroke is what is crucial.
See my post in your other thread.

If you set them at .008mm that is way too tight! But I'm thinking you typoed as .008mm is just a hair over 3-ten thousandths. I doubt they even make feeler gauges that thin... Download that service manual and verify what the clearance should be. Going off the top of my head (it's been awhile) I want to say the 350x should be .003" intake and .005" exhaust. That's thousandths of an inch not MM, and check the service manual to verify or correct my numbers.

If you can guide me on how to do it I can and the manual will not let me view it I don't know why
Just checked the link to the manuals and the 350x manual loads for me. Might be something on your end.
As to the vid, take a vid with your smartphone if you have one, load the vid to Youtube then post the Youtube link here.

Chicks love guys that ride trikes
I don't really hear anything out of the ordinary on that video.
You mentioned that you changed the oil. Did you change the filter? If yes, did you put the oil filter in the correct way? The filter goes in backwards from how you would think it should. The hole in the filter goes outwards, against the removable cover. I just wanted to mention it in case the noise is due to lack of oil.
Here is what the manual says about troubleshooting top-end noises (timing chain is another possibility):
