Little help needed.

This for a 1970 C3 Coupe with power steering.
Would like to know the torque range used for the top Shield/Caliper Adapter Bracket Bolt & the two lower bolts on the assembly shown. Plus, does shorter of the two lower bolts go towards the front of the car ? I don't see a reference to these or torque values in the Assembly Manual.
Secondly, does the assembly of parts look correct ? And finally do any of this bolts require a "thread locker" of any kind ?

Thanks

I never found an actual answer that was traceable to anything specific

General consensus seems to be 50-70 on the lower bolts and 90-120 on the upper when I did this

Cancel that, I just looked at some pictures I have
I do remember two different lengths and it only worked one way but the strange part is when I look at my images now the before / after are different so I must have replaced the bolts
