They should actually feel somewhat “loose” when you need them off next time, compared to what shops/non-torque wrench folks do. People usually over-tighten bolts, and that is why we use a torque-wrench.

Funny how most people think a torque wrench is used to TIGHTEN more… maybe because of the name of the tool lol
I once had to stand and jump / bounce on the end of a 2 foot breaker bar to undo the work of a local tire chain. It's pretty amazing that generic hardware tolerates being torqued to like 500+ ft-lbs without obvious consequences.
