Default Loose Wheel Stud Opinion

Just finished installing Hawk ceramics no big deal except the 25 torque on small caliper bolts seems a little on the light side. Putting right rear wheel back on and noticed a stud was loose. Easy to push halfway back in hub loose. Used some oversize washers and put lug nut on, torqued to 100 plus a little extra twist. Stud stayed in place an wheel reinstalled and torqued off same as other studs.

My question is should I be concerned about this. Seems like it should be fine since it torqued off right?

Retorque in 500 miles.
If nothing loose then all should be OK.

Probably no big deal, but you could try some Loctite bearing mount locker, as designed to hold loose fitting part's. I've used this stuff on rear differential pinion shaft bearing's, and work's well. Kinda pricey for a little bottle, though.
