Girdle Install Problem!

Ok I feel like a complete retard for even talking about this.I was tightening down the load caps with a tq wrench and the first cap was tighened to 5ft/lbs and the second cap...well lets just say the damn tq wrench didnt click and I prolly tightened it to about 10-15 ft/lbs b4 I realized it was taking to long to click.I know for sure the first one was set for 5ft/lbs but the second Im guessing it was prolly tqed to like 10ft/lbs.I backed it off and hand tightened it and made a half a turn,(I wasnt trusting that damn tq wrench again)Is this bad?I put the rest of the car together and drove it home 40 miles with no problems or Noises,think ill be ok?

Given the title, I just know there is a joke about fat women waiting to come out in this thread.

I stop wasting everyone's time now.

I've got the cover from Spohn and Steve said to torque the load bolts to 10 lb/ft....you are fine...
