Note that some bottom bracket designs have shoulders on which the cranks need to bottom to be square which doesn't happen unless they're installed at the upper end of their torque specification.

For example, FSA ISIS cranks have a torque specification of 28 - 43 foot pounds. Mine weren't square when first installed at 30 something foot pounds and I had problems adjusting the derailleur so I could get reliable shifting without dropping the chain.

A little over 40 foot-pounds got them to seat right and allowed proper front derailleur setup.
