when torquing any bolts there is wet torque and dry torque. with oil on the threads this would then be wet torque which would apply a higher torque then dry. so if it is stated not to use any lube on the threads and oil was on the threads this would occur.
with metals like this a 3 pass torquing is best where you at each pass slightly increase the torque at each sequence .
sure you did not mess up with ft lbs and inch lbs ? the torque with this is quite low.
start at the middle and criss cross to the ends is the usual method.
