Don't waste any money on a cam bolt lock plate on a GEN 6 hydraulic roller lifter engine. Just good grade 5 or better bolts torqued to about 20 ft/lbs with thread locktite blue and you'll never see any back out or come loose.
I have not used bolt lock plates on hydraulic cammed engines in thirty years and I have never had a bolt back out of a cam that was properly torqued and set with thread locktite. Always amazing to see what parts the industry parts sales houses come up with to make extra profit off of novice engine build people! Put you hard earned money where it really counts on the good machine work, measurements and quality parts you really need.
