While removing my head I mixed up which pushrod came from which valve. Will it be okay to put them in randomly? Also, rocker arms did not get mixed up.

If the push rods are the same length, you should be okay. I would add a small amount of grease to the ends of the push rods before installation. Let us know if you need anything else.
