Injectors

D5 engine.
Just replaced the swirl flaps and remounted the injectors with new copper gaskets, clamps and bolts.
The Haynes manual says 13 Nm on the bolts and doesn't mention anything
about an additional 90 degree torque, but a lot of vids on YT for other engines
says to add 90 degrees and some even 2X90.
Any opinions on this?

Haynes says 13Nm, no mention of any extra degrees, so I tightened them accordingly and no leaks so far.
