This is how you can try to design a short and simple FIR filter by hand. Note that this method is just supposed to be enlightening, a really useful filter can be designed using some software. If you want a zero at 60 Hz you indeed need to place it at an angle of $0.24\pi$ on the unit circle of the $z$-plane. The general relation between angle and frequency is
$$\phi=2\pi\frac{f}{f_s}$$
where $f$ is the desired frequency, and $f_s$ is the sampling frequency. Note that if the filter coefficients are real-valued, zeros (and poles) always occur in complex conjugate pairs. So if you have a zero at $z=z_0$ you must also have a zero at $z=z_0^*$. This just reflects the fact that the spectrum of a real-valued filter is symmetric: $H(\omega)=H^*(-\omega)$. Since you want to design a causal FIR filter, all poles are at the origin of the $z$-plane, and you only have control over the zeros.
So let's design an FIR filter of order $3$ (i.e. length $4$) with a zero at $z_0=e^{j0.24\pi}$, and - because it's a high pass filter - a zero at $z=0$. The zero at $z=0$ contributes a factor
$$H_1(z)=1-z^{-1}$$
to the total transfer function, and the zero at $z_0=e^{j0.24\pi}$ (and its complex conjugate counterpart at $z_0^*=e^{-j0.24\pi}$) contributes a factor
$$H_2(z)=(1-z_0z^{-1})(1-z_0^*z^{-1})=1-(z_0+z_0^*)z^{-1}+|z_0|^2z^{-2}=\\
=1-2\Re\{z_0\}z^{-1}+z^{-2}=1-2\cos(0.24\pi)z^{-1}+z^{-2}$$
because $z_0+z_0^*=2\Re\{z_0\}=2\cos(0.24\pi)$, and $|z_0|=1$ (the zero is on the unit circle). The total transfer function is
$$H(z)=H_1(z)H_2(z)=(1-z^{-1})(1-2\cos(0.24\pi)z^{-1}+z^{-2})=\\
=1-[1+\cos(0.24\pi)]z^{-1}+[1+\cos(0.24\pi)]z^{-2}-z^{-3}\tag{1}$$
From (1) you can read the filter coefficients:
$$h_0=1,\quad h_1=-[1+\cos(0.24\pi)]=-2.4579,\quad h_2=-h_1,\quad h_3=-h_0\tag{2}$$
Note that we just imposed the locations of the zeros but we didn't apply any normalization. A useful normalization for a highpass filter is to require $H(-1)=1$, i.e. the response at the Nyquist frequency (half the sampling frequency) is $1$. Since
$$H(-1)=\sum_n(-1)^nh[n]=h[0]-h[1]+h[2]-h[3]=2h[0]-2h[1]$$
we can define new normalized filter coefficients by
$$\hat{h}[n]=\frac{h[n]}{2(h[0]-h[1])},\quad n=0,1,2,3$$
The magnitude of the resulting frequency response of this filter looks like this (the phase is linear due to the symmetry of the coefficients):
You see that the three constraints (zeros at DC and at 60 Hz, and unity response at Nyquist) are satisfied. The transition from stopband to passband is of course not very steep but that's as good as it gets with an FIR filter of order 3.
