Fairly happy 'nipping up' grips, shifters and brakes until they feel right...less confident with the stem...tend to err on the side of 'good n tight' with an alu bar.

Use brain/judgement, or invest in a torque wrench?

Tighten until you hear a crunch, then back off quarter of a turn.

get everything even by feel plus look at the gaps around the stem clmap so the gaps are all even

also good to ehck that your stemp clamp area (as other brake clamps) has no sharp edges etc
