Ticking engine 2013 Chevy Cruze. Could it be a loose rocker arm?

My Cruze is making a ticking noise. Its actually a squeaking that seems to be coming from the middle top of the crank shaft. When I start the car you can hear a quick squeal then the engine revs up or when I turn it off. For the first few minutes, the engine sounds normal until it heats up and you start hearing it tick lightly. You'll hear it louder when the car is put into gear or when you turn on the air conditioner.  When I removed the valve cover I inspected the rocker arms.  I'm no mechanic. But you can see in this video that at least one of them is loose.  It seems to be where I hear the squeaking (ticking) is coming from.  Could this be the cause?  Any experience with this problem? What do I need to do to fix it or how much does it cost?   Thanks.
