They ain’t coming loose just go over again in a few days cause is polimer and don’t over tighten them.

You have to go through and torque them in the proper sequence like 5 or 6 times in order to verify it's actually torqued down. Also recheck every few hundred miles until it's not changing.

You can't use a torque wrench on any bolt that has a lock washer.Get all your bolts to proper torque going through proper torque sequence with as many pass's as it takes.Once all are at correct torque remove the last bolt you installed and apply loctite to it and reinstall at correct torque value.Follow the bolt installation sequence in the reverse order from the first bolt you installed loctite on and your bolts will never become loose.Use the proper loctite for the size of the bolt
