~ 5.3 inch/lb
~ .44 ft/lb
How would you all go about this, pls?"

Answer: "I would just evenly "torque" down the screws to the point where you feel decent resistance and then stop."

I'm sure you figured it out by now but just tighten it enough where you can't do it without applying excessive force. If you can lift the whole assembly up by the cooler and nothing feels wiggly you'll be fine!

vreihen16 Yeah... The touchbar continues to annoy me. F1-F12 does stuff in Chrome that's more annoying, I'd rather have my screen brightness decrease than have a new tab open if I'm working on something.

/I did find a tool though, will update how that goes.
