You have the XXX integrated bar/stem, yeah? Go look at the spec on the top left of the where you tighten it on to the steerer. What does it say? I'll save you the trouble - is says "5.2 nM MAX" Not "5.2 nM" or "5.2 nM MIN" MAX, dude. It shouldn't be that tough to grasp the concept that you need to tighten it enough to do the job, whatever that figure may be, but to not exceed 5.2. So yeah, good enough is good enough.
