Clicking ticking noise

Hi everyone. I picked up a 2016 camaro ss with some body damage. Got it all squared away but I noticed this*strange noise from the passenger side of the engine. Could it be the camshafts or rocker arms?? If I take the valve cover off will I have to get a new bracket as well?I attached a video. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The car is cammed

I also attached a picture of what the engine bay looked like before so could possibly be something broken?

Sounds like the headers. I'm curious what others opinions are.

We can see too far.

It has headers on it. If it is that could it be gasket or the actual headers themselves?

I was thinking more like the thinner metal of the headers letting the injector noise be heard. I could totally be wrong.

Could it be rocker arms? I'm going to take of the valve cover and check

If the header gasket is chuffing, it might be detected with a smoke machine that will reveal the hot gasses coming out.

BTW, what is that felt-like debris seen in the video?

That's the material padding from the plastic valve cover

So took valve cover and intake manifold off everything looked good. Ran a scanner and checked injectors. So the injectors on idle keep going to not run on idle they all switch on when pressing the throttle. When at idle random injectors say not run.

I think it's just header tick, but I'm interested in what you find out.
