Hello; I can see how the cam bearing cap & bolts coming off and then bouncing around among the camshafts and springs could damage the clips. I would look at the bolts to see if one or the other broke. If the bolts are broken a guess might be they are a faulty part. I expect them to be banged up some after bouncing around but if they are whole probably means they backed out.
Seen scoring on some cam lobes. To me it means a tear down to the short block at least. A careful inspection of all components. A thorough clean out of all oil passages (that likely will be a cross your fingers and hope sort of cleaning) Likely would replace the crank and other rotating parts or at least get the crank machined.
Might be time for a different long block???
