In my opinion, when installing coils, you have to check and retighten bolts and check your work again. It's kinda like torque down lug nuts, you drive 50 to 70 miles then come back and retighten or make sure everything has tigthened right and retorqued. check your work again man.

Think of it as you thinking you tightened everyone up REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD and then you lower the car from the jack and back on the wheels and the weight of the car puts stress on the studs and pushes down to reveal even MORE thread for you to retighten.
