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.

I did have to transpose the inch pounds for foot I didn't have an inch pounds wrench. I remember it was very low in ft lbs, like 22 or something. Possible the pound wrench didn't take to the low values reliably....my pattern was correct and I did do an incremental torquing...
