new to this just wondering what people's thoughts are on the tiles that look like they have slipped down . I don't have no water leaking into the loft . Are they best left alone or need sorting? They have been like this quite a while

OP,
Maybe the tiles have slipped because bossing (shaping) the lead flashing has broken the tile nibs, & they dont seem to have been nailed?
The problem with leaving well alone is the possibility of loose tiles skidding off the roof to land on someone below?
The tiles on the stack RH below a ridge tile are cocked up and seem to be held in place with mortar - a very bad idea. Wind chatter could soon loosen those tiles.
 
Whoever did that flashing made a right pig's ear of it, and probably dislodged the tiles in the process. It really needs stripping off, the tiles re-fixed or replaced if their nibs are broken and then the lead flashing done properly
